How much packing do you have in the column ?

None ;)

Pot stills dont require packing, some use it but it's not needed IMHO.

[The Stig]

None ;)

Didnt think so, but that was going to be my next question

looks the goods stig. Whats your boiler stup?

T500 boiler

With no packing in mine it only gets 50/55%

[MacStill]

The Stig will essentially be using this pot head to strip wash's so he can run low wines through his reflux column.

;)

[torry73]

I use mine for strip runs and spirit runs of rum and whisky

[The Stig]

We have success, its running right now and so far produced 3 litres in about 50 minutes at around 76%

:( :(

Glad your happy Stig 8-)

[The Stig]

2 hours running and I have 10 litres at 40% and its still pulling 50%

[The Stig]

OK, not long after writing the above comment things changed very quickly.
The output slowed and the ABV dropped like a stone.
The outcome is, I got 11.5 litres at 40% uncorrected in a total of 2 hours 35 minutes (after warmup)
So, all in all a very successful afternoon.
Thanks McStill

[MacStill]

Another stripping run and you'll have enough for a spirit run through your T500 ;)

The outcome is, I got 11.5 litres at 40%

After watching a T500 slooowly produce @ 92-95%.....its kinda exciting watching Alc gushing out of a pot still when stripping :lol:
Just wondering what sort of wash?????......that seems like a lot from 25L of wash
