Stripping Run in a Potstill w/ a Parrot...

[evilpsych]

Alright, Q. for you Parrot Users also operating a potstill by 'feel'

When doing a stripping run - i.e. 'low-wines' for a second run later at higher proof, at what proof read at the parrot do ya'll call it off with that particular batch of wash? My batches started out pulling off 50-40%, but towards the end, were pulling off very weak 20%, with very little bad-taste.

Would you go further than that? I don't think I was into the 'tails' all that badly due to taste, but i was getting a little cloudiness in the jug.


The second run came off starting at 80%, I stopped the second run at 50%, will rerun the leftovers in another stripping run.

The way my pot is currently setup, there is no thermometer.
