Did a couple of stripping runs for my neutral on wednesday and thursday.

With my 2400 watt element (no controller) it took around 2.5 hours to get a 70 odd litre charge in my keg boiler to temp.

The output was a bit over 4 litres an hour. Ended up with around 16.5 litres av 50% (I shut down still when output dropped to 20 %).

From go to wo 7 hours 10 mins for 70 litre run and just under 8 hours for the 74 litre run. Now for the spirit run...
