Hi mate welcome :greetings-waveyellow:
40% is fine mate but 2.4 ltrs isn't much to run on its own. You want to make sure your element is covered enough that it won't dry out after all the alc is distilled off. Usually you wpuld do a few strip runs until you have say 15-20 ltrs of 40% before doing a spirit run. You could dilute back to 20 but I wouldn't risk it as you may loose some of the flavour you've worked so hard to get with the ag process.
My advice is to be patient and do a couple more ferments and strip runs.
