9. Turn the tap to the open position.
10. Set the thermometer alarm to 2 degrees higher than the steady temperature shown on
the display. Sit back, relax, the hard bit is done!
11. If you are collecting directly into the smart filter system bucket, ensure the filter is setup
with spindle and cartridge attached (jump forward to the filtering section) and make
sure the stainless steel stick plug is in place in the top of the filter spindle. The idea is
to collect the 90% neutral spirit, water it down to ~40% then filter the spirit by removing
the filter plug. Alcohol must be below 50% ABV for activated carbon to be effective!
12. Between 2 and 3 hours after starting spirit collection the temperature will start to rise,
and the thermometer alarm will sound, turn the tap back to the off position, this will
return the reflux action to slow mode. The temperature may take a few minutes to
return to the steady temperature of around 78 degrees.
13. We recommend you change collection vessels at this point, you have completed
collecting the purest and cleanest neutral spirit. There is nothing wrong with the
remaining neutral spirit that is being collected now, we suggest you use this product to
make liqueurs. Remember to filter separately, after the initial collection has been
watered down and filtered.
14. Reset the thermometer alarm again for to 2 degrees higher than the steady
temperature shown on the display
15. After 30 minutes the temperature will again start to rise and the alarm will sound, turn
the boiler, water and alarm off. Take care the boiler and the condenser are very hot
and must be allowed to cool down before moving or starting cleanup.
