Very interesting :clap: :clap:
It's a real shame about the leaky parrot, I woulda put a zip tie around that plumbers tape to be sure its fixed properly though :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
If you look closely at my cooling lines you will see not just 1 but 2 zip ties, the parrot is one that leaked from birth and was sent back after Stig smashed the bottom off it trying to pull it apart :roll: Stick to computers Stiggly :teasing-neener:

Did you fool with it a bit to see what's what or just a straight forward run?
I'll let em air a bit for now but not a lot seems to have changed except for take off speed, I did everything as I usually would but my run time was a hell of a lot quicker.... I was getting 440ml every 6.5 minutes, from start to finish it took 2 hours total & usually took 3hrs.
Even mrs mac was impressed at the take off speed, she said it was almost as good as when I charge with low wines doing here UJ runs :dance:
All in all I reckon with a little tweaking of the defuckerarater and heat input I could get this thing really pissing hard with a low wines run, and a whole lot quicker with a wash charge & I put it down to exactly as you described by not letting the reflux back to the boiler.
The bottom plate dried up so fast when I expected it to, then the next was almost instant.... I knew from previous runs of the same wash how much hooch to expect, and it was right on que too, but just less lag time between transitions.
ABV% is 93% after correction with lovely smell and flavor from the hearts and early tails, I know I could get this thing to 95% by running it under 2L an hour but we dont really care too much bout that do we.... I want flavor :dance:
Going to run it tomorrow again, this time with 8L of heads/tails & some wash, might even just use water in the humpa to see what that does.
