You did cuts?
Do you know how fast you ran or what abv you ended up with? Volume / Time taken ?
Just checking you have the basics covered before denouncing the wash :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Understand
I have been reading forums / videos for about 3 months, not a substitute for doing it in real.
My bought pot still seems different to what I read on here.
First run was with the wash. 25l. Took 5 hours 20 minutes. Only separated the foreshots, 100ml. The abv (got a parrot) went from about 63% down to 40%, before the temperature got too high (97 deg)
Second run, "spirit" run took about 3.5 hours. Again took off 100ml, then small cuts of 300ml per jar. ABV went from around 80% down to 40%.
I had 24 x 300ml approx of output in second run
I tried to make cuts, separated out heads and tails, probably not as conservative as it could have been. None of it tasted nice, just some better than the heads/tails.
