Hi all.

Retired 2 weeks ago, so I class this as my retirement present.

Set up and eagerly waiting for the Vodka star wash to finish.

Here's to a very long and active retirement, with lots of usage of your present.

Keep us informed how it goes.

OK
Vodka Star wash, 6Kg sugar.
Got 4L distillate at 92%ABV in abt 3 hours. That works out at about 96% alcohol yield.
Smells really good, will be diluting & filtering through my Fuselex nano tomorrow.
Did come across the water supply control problem during the run, but then again, I've got loads of time time on my hands.

Happy retirement to me. :)

I am really pleased for you, heres to many more succsessful runs.

Given a bit of time and some experimentation I am sure you will fine tune your set-up to illiminate the hiccups you had on this run.

Keep in touch

Good stuff mate
If you get around to it fitting a pressure reducing valve really improves things
I run VS on 7kg and find that works for me
