Hi fellow distillers,
We made a low-wines run.
We have a vodka still with a 5 plate column and a 21 plates column. Both columns have defleghmentor.
We did the low-wines run using only the 5 plates column, and we did'nt used the dephlegmentor.
We distilled 1200 liter of mash which was about 10% abv.
The run started, the distillate was about 85% ABV and we distilled until the ABV of the distillate was around 20%.
The final yield was at 50% ABV. We were hoping to yield about 200 liters.
The total volume of the distillate at 50% is about 125 liters.
Anyone have an idea where the missing 75 liters went?
Thank you :-)
