For a good laugh last night a guy put up a pic of that still with the vertical boiler and is a plain copy of one of the other builders on that forum....
I simply said that is the worst looking still I've ever seen :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Whats everyones thoughts on this? It does make sense to a degree. But i i dont agree all tails are hearts. A few people are saying 2L of tails into their next wash produces 2L of extra hearts

The 4% thing is bs as a generalization and might be the usual result for that user and thier regular wash (id guess turbo with it that high) If you put a wash in that starts at 4% it wont produce pure tails.
The compounds that make the tails taste will hitch a ride with the alc when the boiler gets to the appropriate temp FOR THE TAILS THAT ARE THERE.
Adding tails back in will give you more hearts because the added abv & volume changes the boiling points and it takes more alc to be removed from the boiler to get up to the vapor point of the tails.
Theres recoverable booze all the way down to zero, but it generally isnt worth the time. An all feints run wouldn't work as well as they do if it was just heads/tails compounds in the wash
