> Phase 1
60 L of sugar wine (12kg sugar)
Distilling these in 20L batches gave me..
> Phase 2
20 L of 35% low wines
Distilled slow, collected in small jars gave me...
> Phase 3
~7 liters boiled out
~4 liters of heads and tails to save for a rainy day
~3 liters "hearts" (all with consistent ABV, 70%)
~6 liters 40% spirit, dilute with water
~8x 750ml bottles of 40% spirit, will be turned into gin
