Welcome to AD mate.
A stripping run usually done with a pot still run flat out until the product comes off the still at 20 or 10% that being the point of diminished returns. The product from that run is then diluted to under 40% for safety reasons and run through the still agin only this time nice and slow to produce the final spirits. With the T500, you can’t really do a hard and fast stripping run as it is not designed to operate that way and doing so could damage it and render it unsafe to use. What you can do is double distill. By this I mean, run your wash through once nice and slow like you would do for a spirit run then dilute the product of that run down to 40% and run it through again. This should give you a very good quality neutral.
Have you read the thread no the correct way to run a T500 in the newbies section? The cuts thread in the same section is well worth reading too. Combine the knowledge from both of those and you’ll be on the path to top notch results very quickly.
Cheers,
