I always do 200mls of fores then collected 200mls i think jar 4 was where i started and finished at jar 13 for my hearts rest went into feints. Pulled a hair over 2 litres of 94% that was very clean. One thing i could suggest if u dont already.. start the water when u start the boiler and then feel the column periodically.. when shes getting real warm up top you are close to first drips i boost the water to max and let it reflux hard for about 30 mins then pull the 200ml foreshots really slow think it was just over 40 degrees it helps compress the cuts for me and i seem to get better results plus the other t500 mods help like the scrubbers for packing and the half inch copper to replace the milky plastic product tube. Enjoy it man im putting on a wbab wash on the weekend lookin forward to comparing to the tpw
Hey Critta,
thanks for that info..... my condenser is the copper one and came packed with the stainless steel and copper up the top...
I took 150ml foreshots from all 3 runs being 350ml total (2 x strip runs and the spirit run) prob a bit much but being a noob wanted to be sure.
with the stripping runs i didnt run it hard and fast... just did it as normal runs and was patient with them..... thought this might give a better product but i dont think it would make to much difference??
are you running your wbab wash through the t500 also? keen to see your notes on it :handgestures-thumbupleft:
