This is how it will go, In the first half an hr you'll get say 30% but buy the end of the hr you'll be lucky if its over 35%. Then by the end of the day it might be 40%, by the end of the next day it will be say 45% and after a week say 48% after 2 weeks 50% . I've tried it and it just gets less and less the longer it drains

You'll get a bit of solids in there, might stick to your element, but it wont scorch. No worse than what will happen anyway. 2400 watts on a perf plate might be a little on the slow side, but should work ok. Mr E can tell you if I'm up the putt there, he knows the still best.

As it gets closer to the run I might mix things back together so I get a consistent flavour, as I easily have about 100+ Litres and won't get it done in two runs.
Might be a very small 3rd run...

Better still would be to go for 3 35ltr runs (or get a bigger boiler :twisted: )
