	'''2022/09/03''' Started with one of the 25litre balloons, added 2litres of old heads, and 4-5litres of water. The alcohol percentage should be about 30%, but I didn't bother measuring it again. At 0845, I fired it up on 10. At approx 30%, in principle it ought to produce 8litres of pure ethanol, which will likely be maybe 5 litres at 90%, with 5 litres dropping back down towards 30%.

 '''2022/08/10''' Finished today.  It produced some high percentages, 80-90% ethanol.  I kept the Bartscher at 4, which seems to have meant less of that sticky leakage from the pot, and no splattering either.  I will continue with C9, but do C1 separately.

 I have slowly begun distillations, late as usual.

 '''20220709'''  It splattered a lot, clogging up the steam pipe, twice. I really need that splatter guard.  Yield about 1000ml at 64%. Pleasant nose.
