with the spirit run on same dome and condensor I just switch the bottom switch to mash and top to boil works fine for me.

That does seem fast,winding down the power,I get about a litre and a half of strip an hour on my established routine.
Not saying that my way is the best way..

Thats why I want a power controller. At full
power stripping runs 25ltrs take about 3hrs.
Thats 1hr to warm up and 2hrs to spit out
between 5 and 6ltrs. About 1 ltr per 20mins.

With a power controller and running at say half power, you'll get much better separation with decreased smearing, so a small increase in quality and a substantial increase in quantity of hearts.

As I said dont have a power controller yet. The speed
with which the distillant runs out is like a waterfall.
400ml jars take 2-3mins.That is why I want one, but
will it bring better quaily

Anyway, I'm guessing hearts start at 87 degrees and run through to 92 degrees so jars 7 to 12.

Spot on jar 6 I hummed and haaed, but I make so much of this I said no.
This spirit is a good base for lots of different experiments.

Have to say I'm seriously interested in the maths/chemistry of this.

Stripping run temps are presumably not consistent as the recipe and remaining sugar would distort things a lot.

On spirit runs, the T500 manufacturers claim hearts are between 85 and 90 on the pot still and I get between 87 and 92 with no copper dome, so I'm really interested if Gaza gets 87-92 like me or maybe 86-91 with copper dome. I'm sure 85-90 is too early at full power.

What can I say?
I just love to see information shared.
Typo's and miss numbering included.

I bit my lip on a snappy, humorous response there, as I value your post too highly.
Thanks for doing it.
