Making cuts with T500 Reflux

Post by carees82 »

I'm looking to upgrade to a T500 copper reflux from an airstill. I've been doing quite a bit of research first and I've read from numerous sources that in order to achieve a good quality neutral spirit, then cuts need to be made at precise temperatures, such as head cuts made between 80oc and 90oc and hearts between 91oc and 95oc.
According to the T500 manual and numerous forum posts, to achieve the highest quality from the T500, it should be run at a constant temperature of 55oc and no higher than 65oc.
In this case, how would you know at which points to cut the foreshots, heads, hearts and tails, if the recommended temperatures for these cuts are well above the recommended temperature to run the T500?
