Good cuts as suggested Doc, then carbon filtering. That's what I do. However, I have been re-distilling the discards. I'm interested to hear why you discard the heads and tails? I'm more than happy to follow your lead though but interested to understand your theory... Cheers, Lowie. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
