Turn on vacuum pump to begin process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn on heat and set to 60C. Vacuum pump will begin to pull down and temperature will begin to rise.

This is the “heads” fraction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou will move to your second fraction when you see an increased reaction in the head, a slight color change toward golden, as well as a thickening of distillate. When this fraction hits, allow the distillate to “self-clean” the head for a minute or two then, rotate the cow to the middle receiving flask. Collect your “main body” fraction. You will see temps between 190-220C during this fraction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinue to increase stirring speed as necessary. Reaction in the head may vary but it should never stop. As fluid level in the boiling flask decreases, increase stir speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe final “tails” fraction is a mixture of the first and second fractions and should be saved for re-distillation later. Ideally, you want to turn the cow to the final flask before the tails fraction hits. The “tails” fraction has an obvious color change and will be darker than the “main body” fraction. You will see temps between 200-250C during this fraction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs fluid level in the boiling flask decreases even more, set stirring RPM higher (1000+ RPM).
