Foreshots

After allowing the system to equalibriate, drops of totally clear distillate have begun coming over. They smell strongly, and a few drops on the back of a spoon burn with a clear, blue flame. This means they are relatively high proof. Once I have enough, I will measure it with my alcoholometer.

I will collect 50ml or so and toss them out, then begin the main collection run. These first 50ml have things in them we don't want in our main run.

Interestingly, the temp is showing as 78C. It took some fiddling with the heat to get it to stabilize, but it seems to be maintaining properly.

The holy work continues...
