I have 2 x 25 litre fermenters at the moment. I have a 25 litre boiler.
If you go to Newbies Corner and then calculators it tells you how to calculate the alcohol content of the wash. (My FFV was about 9.5 % alcohol - so in a 20 litre wash there would be a total 1.9 litres of pure alcohol).
I have the low wines stored in glass flagons (kept from the time that fruit juice came in glass) - I have around 6 litres now (from 2 stripping runs of FFV). Can't tell you the percentage alcohol off hand as it varies between flagons - I collected down to 20% each time. I think I will need at least one more stripping run before I do a spirit run. (Need to dilute the low wines before the spirit run).
I am considering getting a third fermenter so I can have 3 lots ready to go at a time rather than waiting for another lot to finish.

Thanks Carol,
I'll check out the calculators in the newbies section.
I'll be getting a Boka + 50L boiler soon myself & just wanted to start planning the other gear I'll need, especially how many fermenters I'll need since I'll be double distilling & want to be able to have all the washes ready to go so I can strip enough one day so I have enough to fill the boiler (at 40% or a bit less) to do a reflux the following day. :happy-partydance:
Also how did you clean your Boka before doing your first run through it ?
