Hi guys,

I got a question about that T500: the temperature you measure, is that the top temperature of your column or the cooling water outlet temp?
They say 55-60°C is the best, but ethanol boils at 78,5°C?

It's the water outlet temperature you need to monitor

What sort of wash are you using?
What volume?
Did you measure original and final SGs?
If so, what were the numbers?
