How to Use This Calculator
- Enter wash volume and wash ABV.
- Select still type (pot or column) which affects the cut fractions.
- The calculator returns estimated volumes for foreshots, heads, hearts, and tails in mL, plus total distillate and total alcohol in the wash.
- Discard foreshots, collect heads separately, save hearts as the primary product, and decide whether to re-distill tails.
