Thanks mate, just don't zoom in too close! :D Not a lot of sanding/polishing gone on here but it's what I'm happy with!

I quit often go from 89 ish to 20 abv in the space of one or two stubby bottles. Takes like 10m. Water should not boil to the point of building pressure in rc.. I usually leave needle valve just cracked open..
