Turfed first 250ml as fores and collected in 250ml lots after that. First jar definate heads, by second abv started dropping, third was strait into wet cardboarx smell... running 4 plates, 3" column, steady to broken stream at 2ltrs/hr.
I kept the run going to record some data to add to this thread.
Ran bubbler as per Mac's bubbler tutorial thread.

1 - 89-87
2 - 87-80

5 - 66-64
6 - 64-61
7 - 61-58

If tails are present in the 3rd Jar and you still got 6more jars it's smearing terribly. I never get more than 2jars of tails if I don't close off the rc. Usually 1.5jars. More heat and more reflux will clean the above run up.
