It’s awesome fun isn’t it :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yup! And addictive.

Currently nearing end of reflux run on the 24L low wines which was stripped from TPW.

I am trying to work out how much the reflux compresses the heads/tales and what a rough idea of hearts would be. Currently taken off about 5L of 93%, definitely very 'clean' smelling after first 1/2L or so. From my reading on here, a reflux run will get more hearts than a pot run but still unsure on quantities. Any ideas?

Cheers

My last TPW spirit run (3 years ago) i ran 26ltrs @ 40% and kept 5.7ltrs of hearts (not sure what abv) and put 2.4ltrs of heads and 1.7ltrs of tails in feints jar.
Not saying your hearts cut will be the same, but just an example. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Thanks mate. Good ball park for me.
