What general % of a wash can you expect to keep as drinkable distillate or what % is likely to be thrown away ?
What aromas am I looking for to make cuts and blend or am I looking for the absence of aromas ?
How good are the results obtained by using essences ? Or is it best to source botanicals and experiment ?
Thanks for your help guys.

Is more a sub heads cut which wont be fores as such but may be a higher concentration of compounds found in the heads. Along with some compounds that form in the still, especially with copper stills that you dont want in the hearts cut.

But if I let the water temp sit at 45-52°C then it becomes a river of flow. It’s ‘The Ganges of Alcohol’ from the same energy input, same ferment, same time frame.
With a lower temp I get maybe 500 mls.
At the higher temp I get 1100 -1500mls in the same time frame.
Any thoughts ???
