You potentially have put heads through the whole lot
The correct amount of power is needed to create the reflux required to get the separation desired
Opening the valve like that meant no reflux was going back down the packing
Chuck it all back in, set the power arround 2000w , run it as slow as you like from there with the valve. Use more cut jars.

If the dunder is still in the boiler, drop the lot back in the boiler and run it through again and do smaller cuts
If its gone, I would suggest re running it with wash from generation #3
This is not how you cut anything except the double retort setup that some scotch and rum producers use, you could stick the middle two jars on oak maybe... dilute some down with water and see whats there.
You cant shortcut learning cuts. This is the single most important skill in our proccess, how much you dont drink is determined by everything else
How long did the run take?

Wellsy has a FSD 4" pot and has "played" with it a lot so he is a good source of info.
I have done one lot of nutrigrain whisky. Pot still configuration - 2 copper coils in column.
My notes tell me that I discarded 300ml fores and then collected in 300 ml lots wirh power at 60%. Started at 82% ABV and collected down to 19%. Power increased as I got into tails.
I ended up with 31 jars. Then I made my cuts.
Maybe you will need to wait until the power controller arrives.
Cheers
Carol
