Just remember to never leave a still unattended. I know you’re still in the shed, which is ok but don’t get distracted.
What do you drink?

I have the pot still attachment for the T5.
For a proper still, what I don’t understand is how do you get pure, clean alcohol like a reflux from a pot. What I’ve come to realise - flavouring gin isn’t hard. There are a lot of good receipes (thanks to this forum). Making cleaning spirit is the pepsi challenge.
Another question - when you empty the fermented wash into the still, should I run it through the pot first for a quick clean up? I try to avoid the reflux at this point as the gunk makes it smell funky meaning I have to wash the column out etc.
So, is this right?
Run 1 - Pot
Run 2 - Reflux
Run 3 - Reflux
Run 4 - Reflux (sometimes)
Carbon wash.
