Up and running at last! Built a SCR to control the power, so can wind it down nice and slow.
Ran my first batch of MacRum through it, got a second one fermenting.
Had to use Tate & Lyle black treacle - couldn't find any agricultural molasses at the right price (GB)
Ran it until 20%, some really nice smells - not used smelling these as I've only used reflux still on neutrals before.
Highest %ABV I got was the first 250ml (inc fores)and that was 78%, gradually getting weaker.
Most jars (late heads/early hearts) were at 64%.
Should I have achieved 80% at all, or is it a limitation of my basic build?
