Hey all, seems most of you were correct with the seperating fores. tried this today. Was an interesting experience Did about 9L of TPW.
Heat up time, 5 minutes.
#1 - 125ml, burnt brown poo slight fores smell.
#2 - 125ml, 18% , using middle burner on 3 burner condensor flow flatout, very slow steady stream flow rate from fermenter into boiler, broken stream with little huffing, with strong tom flavor/smell.
#3 - 25%, more broken stream, tails dirty smell. smoothish taste.
#4 - 30%, slight tom smell, smooth and dry taste.
#5 - 30%, very faint tom smell, very smooth dry taste.
#6 - 50%, upped the flow rate from fermenter to boiler, all 3 burners going, more spirit smell, smooth and less dry, nice flavor.
#7 - 50%, very smooth and nice smell and flavor.
#8 - 50%, same as #7 with a bit more spirit bite.
#9 - 40%, 250ml, dryness back, smooth smell, slight tom smell.
#10 - 40%, same as 10.
Shut it down, to pissed and confused haha.
Would like to see someone with experience try this, so they can distinguish the cut smells. I have no idea where the fores where, only a slight smell in the first jar. Seems to be distilling in reverse, going from low % to higher.
