Temp isnt of a lot of use with a pot still, your better of playing around with that first wash and seeing what effect different amounts of heat input make to the amount of spirit leaving the still, in other words use it as a learning run. As a basic guide, start out slow,,, real slow.....just drips at the beginning. Use your nose, its gunna smell like nail polish remover, these are your foreshots, When it doesn't smell of nail polish remover up the power a bit for the heads to a small steady stream, Hearts can be taken faster again, some may disagree. Playing around smelling, tasting, different heat settings will teach you a lot.
As others have already said, use cut jars and dont expect a lot from your first run. especially as your using turbo stuff.
