I noticed you leave it in the sun. I have heard this can cause problems for the yeast... but if you arent having any problems dont worry about it...

I went to my local pet shop and bought an aquarium heater for about $20. Works a treat!!! although I'm only running 25L washes, so you would need a bigger one... From pitching the yeast to the wash self-clearing takes about 6 days with the heater in, I tend to take it out on day 5 and move it to my other fermenter if it is not ready yet.

Just did my second tpw. Fist strip. Pulled about 3l. Stopped when it got to 20%. Could be wrong as I have had a lot of rum. (Trying to get rid of turbo neutral). It's hard work haha
