Good Learning Experience!

[Beerswimmer]

I had my first run, a turbo wash that I made before I knew any better. I started by racking just a tad less than 20L into my pot, hooked everything up and turned on the heat. Then walked away for a half hour. That's when I realized I had the hoses exactly bass-ackwards, and that the thermometer wasn't working. Oh well! I ran it anyway and really paid attention to what was coming out. I threw the first 200ml into a lantern and kept about 7 pints total. I could have run more, but I figured it was good enough. I turned it off, cleaned it, fixed was wasn't right and now have some rum going through it.

Here's the mess:


And here's the first batch:


All in all a great and safe learning experience!

Cheers!
