Hi

I just got myself a brand new reflux (alcoengine) from kegland as a kit with a digiboil. So far I have done my vinegar run where i didnt rinse out all the vinegar properly lol some got left in the threads where the distiate runs out and i ended up with some bad smelling coroded copper all good at least copper is easy to clean up.

I also did my sacraficial run yesterday with a TPW i kept the first litre including foreshot as a solvent, i test lit some up in the firepit and it sure does burns well!

Anyhow I have a couple of questions on things i probably did wrong during my sacraficial run that I cant figure out. I will create a thread once my profile has been approved. I have 3 TPW that have started to slow down fermenting and the yeast is starting to clear out, i plan on doing a stripping run with 2 of these and then a final run so I have 2 stripping runs to figure out how to drive this still.

Welcome sloppy
Not sure what your questions was because I could not see it, I have been drinking my own product though lol.
With the sacrificial run that is exactly what it is, what you,produce is not to be kept, apart from firefighter of course
