Ask the same question of a bunch of people, get a bunch of different answers!
There is no one way.

The Temp is pretty good out of the AS, but even so there is massive inaccuracy do to the volumes - and the fact we will be mixing it all together .....

I use mine as a progress indicator on the webcam.

Well there's the thing I can't savvy......why peeps are so proudly quoting, and showing, their off-take results at the parrot

Those results are skewed, surely

I'd love to have a parrot but my off-take temps are so high I just set the lot aside until the next day when I can extract some meaningful %'s........ [/quote]

I dont use parrot on a spirit run only a strip run.
I use a Refractometer and collect in jars like most
of us do

Longer run of curly copper before the parrot would help.

I guess that your parrot needs space for a thermometer as well, then you can do the math.
Or fit some control to reduce the temp. of the distillate.
Or wait until the next day....

Ps. Temp that distillate comes out of the copper condenser is
quite high, maybe peps have been scalding them selves

Have just noticed the parrot recall only affects parrots used with the alembic dome.

If parrot were purchased to use with T500, recall doesn't apply.
Would indicate issue is not leaden.....

I would guess Lead as the reason here, but what do I know?

Given Imakes level of exposure to the home brew industry as a whole I wouldn't expect that to be the case....

Having said that am aware of some odd occurrences from that direction, time to time.

And then, manufacturing in (cough, cough) China, sometimes you get what you pay for/don't pay for - delete as applicable......

For what it is, I can only see it containing high levels of lead in any solder they have used.

What else could it be.
