There is no shortcuts and absolutely nothing happens fast. Relax take your time and most of all enjoy what you do...and merry xmas :handgestures-thumbupleft:
My bad did you strip first? 25l 40%? If so prob keep 6-8l 96%. But your cuts are still too big drop them down to 300ish ml..

Just reading your post. The temps you said she boiled at was “48” degrees. I assume that was 48c column temp. If so, that is extremely low temp. Second thoughts.... you may be referring to condenser water “out” temp??

Hey Roy,
Thanks for the reply mate...
Yeah I read keeping it between 45-50 with the 48 being a success.
yes mate that is the water out temp, so where am i supposed to be taking the temp if the probe goes in that spot ?
Much appreciated Roy
Should i keep the wash too and just chuck all the cuts back in and boil up again tomorrow ?

12 cut jars @ 200ml each is 2.4L, which is bang on all the alcohol available in the wash.
Jar 12 should smell putrid, it’s pure tails.
15L out of the boiler is just your Dunder, tip it down the drain.
Remember the wash you put in is only 9% alcohol or there about, the rest is mainly water which won’t boil off.
Temps sound perfect
Take off rate sounds perfect
I think you nailed it.
