Stilling

First batch underway!

 

Adjusting the water flow is surprisingly easy with 78° of heat in the column, it’s much less touchy than I thought.

 

I took off about 75ml of heads, WOW what a pong.  Smells exactly like acetone IMO, you wouldn’t want to drink the crap even if it didn’t send you blind.

 

Waste water is coming off the output of the reflux column at bang on 53°, slightly cool but it does help the reflux action.  The pipe water temp is only 14° too, so I’ve barely got a trickle running.  The waste is dumping into the washing machine, at those temps I may not end up with much down the drain at all.
