Heads run ?

The distillation process itself

I run head runs the same way Chill does, I just collect a little more heads, say 300-350ml.

After that the hearts just run and run, tails don't come so just stop when it gets too weak.

I find these runs produce a very fine neutral, fit for a queen.

It is triple distilled by then so maybe that's it.

Regards, Marc.

I had to read the last post twice to understand,(and re-read chill's).
It makes perfect sense.
Glad that you have found something working for you Duffer26.
So often it doesn't!

Hopefully I have found something that'll work for me.

I've sold my AS and I'm taking delivery of my new Alan Manning gin still next week.

Sometimes I hate the buggers that post here, with allusions to previous posts that have me searching, to understand a thread.
Not so in this case.
I would ignore anything stated about AM stills on unfriendly websites, and look forward to playing with one.
I wish you well, and hope that you will report back, good or bad.

I could not ask for more.
Best wishes for your first run with it.
