Great pix & vid, so nice to see one running. I'd love to see the set up before the boil next time (water to condensers /keg fill etc)

Just as a guide, I'm assuming you're running 80L of TPW wash in the one run?

I ran 120L of All Bran Wheat Flakes wash stripped down to 40L of low wines through my 6 plate bubbler + 500mm copper mesh packed section...and the run took about 6 hours...collected about 9L @ 96% :handgestures-thumbupleft:

If you've got 80L of 10%ABV wash, I'd be guessing 4 hours should see everything worthy of neutral coming out.

Great setup Linno :handgestures-thumbupleft:

How do find using the temp gauge above the RC?. Do you use it much?

I'm not linno, but I use my thermometer above the RC. It's most convenient to work out when you should start taking tails, as it jumps quite quickly from around 79 to 80+. Along with the plates drying up it really makes it easy to work out when the run is finished.

Hey guys

Yeah blonde chap lFirst time I done run this but yeah it was 80 lt in one
Run got 5.2 lt 95 percent to keep I had four jars heads and
1 jar tails before I switched off. The cut offs between jars heads and tails
were Very easy to tell I had 2 mates here to check for sniff test and it was too easy.
I found that unlike other rum or bwko runs it was 95 percent down to 90 percent. The FSD
Ext packed was a treat. I used to strip run with a pot and then reflux
But this is the best way to make neutral without doubt.

Temp gauges don't suk :teasing-neener: mine jump from 78 to 80 right at the
Onset of tails within one jar. Same as I get from bwko or rum wash

Oh man the FSD bubblers look amazing, I makes my simple pot and Boka look inadequate. Must save the pennies and get into one of these but keep practicing.

I hope you guys aren't all compensating for something :teasing-neener: but I think it is closer to the fact that I am jealous.

Great pics Linno
