I posted without first introducing myself.
I have been making spirits with an Air Pot since Mr Rudd gave me money to boost the economy which I have been doing on a weekly basis.I started with still spirits but didn't like all the hassle with carbon and clearing agents. Went to Alcotec yeast,no carbon just filter. I make whiskey and rum using only wood chips. Been given recipe for a weetbix wash but after putting through 2 distilling runs only get around 20% spirit so hope to learn here what could have gone wrong.
Thank you for accepting me to your form.

Welcome to the forum.
I also started out with the air still and using those nasty turbo wash's.
A friend here in Melbourne put me onto this forum by sending me the link to the WBAB (very similar to the recipe you used)
https://aussiedistiller.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=170I have used the recipe as is (for a 30 litre fermenter) and also scaled up for 60 litre fermenters.
It works really well and tastes much better than the still spirits ones.
Although i now run the wash through a Reflux Still so i get a much higher ABV, but it works just as well through the air still (which is a pot still) with lower ABV.
Cheers
