Pot run: how low and how slow?

[John Barleycorn]

I decided to do a pot run with a PSII HC (pot mode, no packing) and 20L of Rad's All Bran wash at about 11%. Using a 1500w plate with router speed controller. Up until now, I've been simply stripping, running as hard and fast as I can, to build up my low wines. But I decided to try a pot run to see what that's all about.

In any case, I've read a lot about running "low and slow" and came across quite a few subjective descriptions like, "a slow tickle", etc. Since I have a "numbers" personality, can anyone share their typical collection rates when they're running low and slow on a pot run?

I slowed things down to about 250 mL/hour. On my rig this was about 1 drip/sec. The good part was I had plenty of time to observe, take notes, smell, taste, etc. -- very cool -- it was textbook all the way. The bad part was it took a very long time. When I strip everything gets smeared, which is fine since I'm just saving up for a reflux run. But I decided that I was actually very impressed with the result of the pot run, so I'm looking for some numbers guidance in case I get that itch again (but don't have as much time to spend).

Thanks,
