Ok so I don’t have an air still pro only air still, so stripping run will take the wash abv from around the 7 to 12% abv and then I run my airstill till the product I’m collecting is about 28-30% abv which can be as low as 5% off the spout of the still.
Once I run all my wash 4 ltrs at a time from my fermenter which is normally 23-25 ltrs and I collect all the lowines which is normally around 800ml to 1100ml per run, then I run a spirit run when I have 4 ltrs or more. Then the spirit run is collected in small 100ml collections, I discard the first 300 ml of every spirit then start the collection in 100ml lots till the abv is down to 30% and it stinks like shit. Trust me you will know the tails smell.
There is a guide to running an airstill on here some wher but I don’t get close to those figures as I think it may be based on turbo washes, and I don’t do them. Not sure if this helps in using the pro or not.
