You’ll be right mate, perfect opportunity to learn to run your still based on output speed rather than temp.
Small adjustments to your water flow until you get that dribble dribble drip

'Hot Hose' is what exactly? Not a plastic hose for your ethanol line?

I’m guessing and I hope it’s the hot water outlet

Hi CP, looks like your new around here. It would be great if you poped into the welcome centre and told us a bit about yourself.

I hope your run went well :handgestures-thumbupleft:
