You should collect approximately 2.25L at an average strength of ~40% ABV. The spirit will initially come off at around 70–75% ABV, gradually decreasing as the run progresses. The main “hearts” cut typically comes off between 30–60% ABV. Stop collecting once the condenser temperature reaches 99°C or once you are no longer satisfied with the taste of the spirit. Adjust final strength to taste if required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNote: We reference ~40% ABV here because if all collected distillate was combined in one jug, the overall average strength would be close to 40%. If you would prefer better control over your quality \u0026amp; taste, you can use different collection jars to take cuts.
