So it's the ethanol you want?

Let the first pint go because it will be methanol boiled off first?
You get methanol, then ethanol, then water. All have different boiling points in that order. A good themometer is a must to no waste and keep it below the boiling point of water for a more pure finished product.
A pint is alot. About how much we get doing 10 gals, so if you are have less mash, it will be less methanol. You can find how much to dump online. Save it though for lighter fluid, works great.

Seems as though I am late to the dance on this thread but willing to answer any and all questions.
Main rule of thumb I got to add as I havent read the whole thread yet is Nothing but copper and stainless in the vapor path. Period.
I have built a few still, both pot as well as a very nice reflux still. Easy to do and can be pretty cheap depending on how big or fancy you wanna go.
as for making a mash - well again depending on what you wanna go for there are tons of ways to do it but to get the most bang for your buck you wanna follow a tried and true recipe. something simple as a couple of boxes of total bran ceral can turn out to be a very nice smooth white whiskey. Let me know if there is any interest and I can add to this thread.
