Hi all
I finally finished stripping my 2nd 46 liter FFV wash and added it to the first giving me 20 liters of low wines, i fired up the T500 boiler and column and have run into an issue that i have not seen before after running 15 or so runs.
Fore shot Jar / I got temp up to around 46c fluctuating between 46.1 and 46.2, i started to get a few drops then a drizzle i was taking off the foreshots got to about 100ml and for some reason the temp spiked and alcohol was gushing out, i flicked the needle valve wide open to bring the temp down and bu=y this time i had 500ml in the foreshot container.
Jar 1 /I got the temp stable again at about 42c and to the drop drop drop until about 100ml there abouts and the temp spike again filling the 300ml jar in about 10 seconds, it kept pouring until i opened the valve
Jar 2 / I got the temp stable again at about 43c and again drop drop drop until about the 100ml mark and again the temp spiked filling the jar in about 10 seconds,it kept pouring until i opened the valve
Jar 3/ pretty much the same deal
I have had to stop the run, any help at all would be much appreciated
