While you are ordering stuff maybe get a 500 ml flask to put in the main slot on the cow mines almost full and still golden
And started with 580g

I did have one mishap on startup also, the cow wasnt set right or something and I got ethanol in all 3 flasks had to shut down and clean those really fast, luckily temps were only like 80c

Yeah give him more reasons to stall
But You are right a 500 ml makes sense to keep mains isolated on a 700ml batch

Temp still 203 mantle
182 head
72 mic vac
72c condenser
900 stir speed
Had to use heat gun a few times to keep flow through the flask neck

This material had a sulphur burner run empty then the aluminum cup gets hot which causes the leaves to burn so was worried it might effect the color, but may effect the flavor cuz the vac exhaust smells like hotsprings
Not sure if it’s supposed to or if that’s a side effect

If sulfur smells still are there
Then You must try puttin copper scrubies in your head on second pass and the Condenser as hot as possible

Thanks again for those pics. It very much helps me and all of us who are still trying to get our 1st spd run out of the way.

For certain, I will be copying your vac setup! I learn best by visual, not reading 8n a text book

What else I found cool about this thread is that @Cryo13 was able to distill first pass with Chinese glass and gl fittings and get sub 100.

This place just keeps debunking the American glass myth. I can’t wait till @square_root_pharms gets his wide bore Chinese custom setup and lets see if we can get low like these other ig people.
