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

Like GTF said we need a little more info....could be something simple like you'd taken all the likker that there was in the wash out?

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
