Double distilling with a 25 litre pot still

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

Double distilling with a 25 litre pot still

Post by heyhaychapman »

I am hoping one of you can help me. I have had a good look through all the forums here and the net in general for days but still can't find the answer I am looking for.

I am using a 25 litre electric pot still and have run about a dozen washes through. Now I want to try double distilling.

When I do a single run I usually collect 4 to 6 litres ranging from 60 thru to 15 ABV. If I have stripped an all fruit wash I might only have 4 litres of 35% ABV.

Can I double distill on just these 4 or 5 litres?
If I need to add water is there formula to calculate how much ?

I have a feints jar and when that gets up to 10 or 20 litres I know I can run that through no problem but can I double distill these smaller amounts as I go?
