   After my strong success doing a 1.5x run of breakfast cereal with 
   sugar, with various feints in my new reflux still, I was curious how 
   running a "wash" on its own through my reflux still would do, after 
   seeing that my new still can effectively reach azeotrope on relatively 
   lower %s.
   
   The results were somewhat disappointing! Reaching azeotrope again took 
   a lot of fiddling around and stalling, overall output was not worth it, 
   and the output spirit (while quite drinkable!) was not what I was 
   expecting. 
   
   I think for the future I will be sending spirits stripped at least once
   to my reflux still, whether diluted feints or low wines. It does add
   time and electric use to the process relative to a simple one and done
   run, but I think the intermediary step is worth it, in terms of operator 
   burden and quality of end result. 
   
   Reflux is still a new world for me. But it's fun playing.
