The next cuts should be collected in 200ml or 300ml jars.
The first jar it 2 are heads then into hearts then into tails.
Nobody can give you the exact measurements for the cuts because every run will be different .
Once all the jars are full and the run is finished , it’s best to leave the jars to air for 24 hours before blending.
In my opinion , making good and correct cuts is one of the hardest parts of this hobby

Please do not cook the weet-bix and sugar , just enough hot water to dissolve the sugar and crumble the wet-bix in and please do not use Angel yeast (a no cook all grain enzyme yeast mix) just use normal bakers yeast .
I hope that helps :laughing-rolling:

As many have said it is all about the cuts mate.
Have a read of the newbie section where it explains cuts. Getting rid of the first however many mils then keeping 2 litres and getting rid of the last however many mils is not taking cuts. It is taking pot luck because every run is just a little different to the last. That is why you need to take cuts mate.
I hope that makes sense as there is no consistent cutoff point where you can set and forget when it comes to spirit runs.
I am a big fan of the wheat bix all bran wash WBAB , it’s in the tried and proven section.
