I see people using voltage controllers to regulate elements. What is the temp you are trying to achieve.

Boiling point ;-) The temp at which the wash will boil is an unknown as it changes depending on the ratio of alcohol in the mix, so it will change throughout the run. Just remember, it's a power output controller, not a temperature controller :handgestures-thumbupleft:

OK thank you so I assume you just go by the sound of the boiler to adjust it then.

No, you go by the amount of distillate coming out ;-)
