The still you have does a really good job of polishing a neutral spirit. It's slow but it works.
So re-run the WHOLE lot of all you have and take tiny 150-200ml cuts. Stubbies, jam jars, pasta jars even wine glasses are fine.
Then air and sniff after re-running everything and tell us what you think. It will be very clean after you re-run.
My other tip would be to really let it reflux for a good 20minutes before you start taking fores.

I think I'll re run everything I have this long weekend. And I'll do what Linny said about double distill with the next TPW I put down this weekend too.
Am I right in saying I can also run 2 litres of 40 percent I have soaking on blueberries as I'm sure it will give me a fucking headache when it's ready too:-x

SBB wrote:Id suggest paying less attention to how much waters going through the still and instead pay more attention to the amount of Product coming out of the still, the slower it comes out the more reflux you are getting, that means higher abv, and cleaner ethanol, hence less rubbish in the heart of the run if you do good cuts.

Sam, just looked at them on the net and from what I can see in pics they are a LM , and yes water flow to the condenser could have some bearing on things, having said that your still going to get a cleaner product running it slower on the output side of things.
Edit: I was thinking CM in my first post.

I’ve been taking product at roughly the following temps;
77.8C
78.3C
78.2C
78.3C
Then when temp raises 1 total degree I switch it off.
