Hey all,
Great site its been invaluble for me thus far
I was referred here by fellow tradesman and have a few questions about where i may have gone wrong on my first wash/stilling of wash
I used the TPW recipe from here and left it about 12 days til the airlock wasnt bubbling anymore
Im running a borrowed still which from looking online is a 25L reflux still. I was told to discard the first 250ml to be safe then keep the next 1.5 L then in a seperate vessel catch the next 1.5L as i may not like the taste
After doing that i put the alcoholmeter in it and the first 1.5 is reading 65% undiluted the second 1.5 is reading 52%
Did i miss a step ?. The fellow i know said it should come out about 90-92%
Cheers for any help BigB.
