Stripping run is it needed?

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.

Stripping run is it needed?

Post by Bushman »

I have a VM still and have never done a stripping run before. In the birdwatchers recipe they say to do a stripping run. I read several strands here on stripping and it says to strip until you reach 20% abv. My question what is the advantage of a stripping run other than maybe getting it a little cleaner for the reflux run? Also I realize I need to take the packing out for a stripping run but do I still run the liebig and condenser wide open?
