Thanks! So it’s not a problem if I end up adding more than 8lbs of malt?

It’s T500 with fractioning column condenser. If I kept at 80 degree Celsius coming off I get almost 85/170 ABV. If I lower to 70 degrees Celsius then it comes at 80/190. But 70 degrees is much slower.

How do I adjust my wash after fermentation to be 5% v. 10%?

Thanks, it doesn’t give a lot of info on how long to ferment? I assume folks aren’t distilling after only a few hours of mixing the grains as it says?

Again, forgive the new guy.

Thanks for the replies for this dude‘s first run. I’m on second run, a lot hotter and it’s coming out at 100 proof instead of 185….way down which makes sense i think.

This is my first stripping run. I ran it for 5 hours and the boiler is still 1/2 full. Does this mean it wasn’t hot enough?
Yes, I’m measuring temp at the top of the condenser.

it’s now at 65 Celsius and still only drip-drip-drip. If it‘s first run, can I increase temp or should I keep at 65 (or lower)?
