I'm on day four of my first (very first ever!) 2 gallon all bran wash for my 1 gallon air distiller. I'm curious to know if you can just simply siphon off the clear stuff then pour it through some sort of rough filter to limit the bits and pieces. Thanks for any thoughts.

I've been doing low power single runs for so long it's second nature to me now, no worries at all about leaving it unattended on a timer but I'll try a couple of full power strip runs and see what difference there is when given a low power spirit run.

I do the spiritrun at 200W though, I'm still a bit too impatient to run it slower :-[

At 160w it takes about 10 hours to get 1350ml of strip. lol

I am doing exactly the same with my SmartStill, the striprun does not need much attention (no cuts) so I clear the wash, few drops of conditioner and the ceramic beads, timer on 4.5 hours and off I go! I also let it run at night. (What I daredevil I am :P )
Done it on 2 x 6 stripruns, again next week, no sweat.
(Although putting the still in a container in case of overboiling might be not a bad idea)

This means I have been stripping my wash 6 x 4hrs25mins per wash.

I had to make sure I would be in, to flick that switch, until I had a brain wave (fart?).

A digital plug timer with countdown function.

Mine was about £5 at B&Q.

Its a god send. I can now press a button and leave it. After 4hrs25mins my 1500mls has been collected, and the timer switches the still off. So I can put it on at night, when I leave for work etc. It means my strip run now takes me two days, where once it took me a week.

I always clear my wash up, and use ceramic beads/ distillers conditioning, so am not to worried about over boiling. I also use a collecting vessel large enough to hold more than 4 litres if the worst come to the worst the still would collect until the cut off kicked in.

Am I a genius, or a fire risk? You decide!
