Great stuff, thank you both. I'll save up until I have enough and decide what to do at the time :-)

Allow the still to continue running and collect the distillate in 100ml lots and check the ABV until the latest batch shows just 20%ABV. This part is call the Tails and is normally added to the stripping runs as at #6 above too.
Should I expect the tails to be as high as 50%?

Re: Essencia Carbon Filter
The ABV varies with the wash and fermentation conditions. For sugar based washes, I expect them to start around 50 - 58% ABV, rarely above 65% ABV.
