Foreshots and Heads removal based on temperature.

Post by prankster1590 »

In sorry. Im a realy realy new newbie and I ask stupid questions.

The question is the following:

Say i have a 15 V% alcohol mixture with the Foreshots and Heads still in it. Don't know the amounts but I quess you could consider it a binary mix.

The liquid of a binary mix of 15V% alcohol would boil at about 92C (198F).

Somebody mentioned that you should remove everything that comes over before 80C (176F) but the mix won't boil before 92C (198F). So does something happen at about 75-80C (168-176F)? First drops should come over at that temp somebody mentioned. But again. If you consider the mix as a binary mix, it would boil at 92C (198F).
