A plate still you have in full reflux at the start of a run ,the pot you cannot reflux at all,reflux is what compresses forshots and heads and tails and increases your ABV,so ifn ya follow Macs guide takeing the above mentioned amount you should be fine,your heads is not used anyway so when you add it to another run you get another lot out as well,this is why doing good cuts will allways be safer and result in a better product in my opinion,with experience it will be obviouse sometimes when you should take a bit more ,as the forshots carry that particular plasticky strong smell.cheers hillzabilly :handgestures-thumbupleft:
