Ran a 8 gallon Batch of DWWG on 5-30-15. No SG or FG. The wash bubbled for 4 weeks at 65 degree F. 1 week to clear. pot stilled one pass. Tossed 12 oz. fores. pulled off 16- 6 oz. jars from 168 proof to 115. Product was still coming off at a good rate so I collected 1 qt of tails. let the 16 jars air 48 hrs then made cuts using smell and watered down tastes. Anything with a burn went into heads jar, anything funky smelling into tails jar.
So, in total 4 quarts collected out of 8 gallons and the only hearts were about 1 quart at 124 proof. Is this about right for a 9 gallon batch size? Seems abit small for the amount of product collected. Am I being too conservative in cuts and leaving too much EtOH behind? I do save all my heads and tails in separate jars for an all feints run somewhere down the road. Thanks for any guidance you can provide. B.

RC Red, Thanks for the reply. I know I should of checked the OG, Just forgot. I used 13 lbs of white sugar in the 8 gallon wash along with the boiled wheat germ. I did test the final gravity to see if it was done and the hydrometer sank to about .992, and tasted like a really dry wine. The wash was still cloudy, so I let it settle another week.
My question is not the 4 quarts collected as much as the 1 quart of hearts out of 4 quarts of distillate pulled off. I save the heads and tail separately, so that fraction is not lost, but I wonder if a quart of hearts out of a 8 gallon wash is normal. Thanks for any guidance as to what percentage I should expect assuming the wash fermented without problems.
Backwash.

RC Red, Thanks for the help. Having a lot of fun with this, but wanted to make sure I was on the right path. I am doing a UJSSM + barley currently and it smells great. B.
