im running now. its essentailly a double distillation as ive been following the chart..collect 1.2litres at a time x 3. strip the 50ml acetone on next run and separate the heads.

thats the bit i forgot to do so its a 3rd run.

IMO 30 is best for a spirit run and allows for relatively easy separation of the heads.

From experience, if its a sugar wash 250ml will be right but taste check using a teaspoon with a few drops of water on and collect a few drops of distillate from the outlet after the 250ml and mix before tasting. Check for no burn on and under your tongue then spit and rinse - don't swallow! No funny remarks lads! :D :D :D

Personally, I'd dilute to 6lt and split that into two 3lt runs. Much cleaner output - but that's me ;D ;D ;D

I think the abv is about 70 odd so if i dilute to 4 litres id get about 35%. Given that, any idea how much heads id expect to collect?
