So yesterday, Insulated the pipes :P, fired up the bok for the first time (been pretty busy lately).
Used kiwi's guide.
Stripped 75 litres of TPW to 15 litres 40%abv. topped up to 25 litres.
So roughly 20%abv still charge?
Fired her up.
Equilibrate for an hour.
Bled 500ml- foreshots.
collected 1.2 litres...? heads??
collected roughly 1.8 litres of hearts.
collected 1.2 litres tails.
There will be more tails in there and im planning on putting the pot head on and stripping it when time allows again.
The still put out a 95% abv?!
One problem I found though was with the temperature probe. I found with the vinegar an steam run it was at 101.4...
Which doesn't make sense as water boils at 100'c? I remember reading someone else's post with a similar problem?
So I perceived that its off by 1'c?
After an hour of equilibriation the temp was at 79.4 but i presume 78.4??, and remained stead all the way through till halfway through the tails at which point it rose 1-2'c.
Anyway.
Review and critique me.
