What colour is the bucket? Has it changed at all since the begining?
Does the distillation setup include any copper component?

The bucket is white, the wort was dark, like blackish, which it normally is like a golden colour. There is a copper coil from the top of the pot through a little water container on top where a silicone tube hooks onto it to carry to mason jars in my case.
But I used the still just a few days prior on a 24 hour turbo just a few days prior, and it wasn’t then or ever before blue, and the smell of this stuff is just off, it’s volatile, I don’t think it’s ethanol. It can’t be ether I don’t think that requires acid being added and other specific thins.

It was just 8 pounds of sugar in water with that disgusting turbo yeast, (I usually filter the end product through charcoal to lessen the funk taste of the turbo,) and 4 gallons of water. Same as dozens of times before, but instead of ethanol it seemed to have produced a volatile death smelling substance. The blue could be from the copper but it was just used 5 days prior with no blue, and no death smelling volatiles, just funky tasting moonshine, or whatever you want to call it.
