Hey Jes,
Enjoyed the vid! It's exciting...right? You got the fever...I can hear it in the videos.
Thanks for dropping the safety info too... I think that it will become evident that that is just as important as the product as you move forward! Keeping people safe is the only way this hobby will ever become globally legal.
A few last things.... please be sure to thoroughly
WASH those alcohometers and thermometer. Just like you wouldn't want to drink the product.... putting things into the product might not be the healthiest either!
Following a sac run I will usually scrub and then citric acid soak the parts...one last shot at OCD... After that, I usually just do a good rinse and that is the end of it all. YMMV
When you do collect product, the collection point (the "spout") should not be buried in the jar like it was on your taller collection jar. The vapor can coalesce in the jar and for people who are using an open flame, it is a fire risk. The small beaker was perfect... just a little space between the spout and the jar opens the vapor to air and allows it to dissipate more rapidly.
As far as what to do with the product. I always keep my fores and heads... they make great window cleaner and other such jobs! The tails I don't keep as often usually because I run the still into the ground at around 20-30% ABV... it's too weak for cleaning. You may, however, want to throw your collected EtOH away this time as it is "tainted". Believe me...there will be plenty more in the near future for you.
What are your plans for your first real run??? I am a big fan of Birdwatchers.... so easy to do and has a nice simple flavor to it! Good luck!
