822. Wash and spirit out-turn [Form P.D.-9].

- All data for the maintenance of the wash and spirit out-turn register will be got from records P.D. 5 and 8 results of each distillation being entered from time to time as it is completed.Unless otherwise directed, the officer-in-charge need only ascertain the gravities on the day when the wash is set-up and when it goes to the still.The "attenuation" of the wash is the number of degree on the saccharometer by which the highest or initial gravity and the final or lowest one differ. Thus in the case of a wash with initial gravity 66" and filial one of 20° the attenuation would be 40° and the calculation for column 20 would be as follows :Multiply the proof gallons of spirit out-turned (column 18) by 100; divide the product by the number of gallons of wash made (column 4); by the figures thus obtained divide the degrees of attenuation (column 5 minus column 6) the quotient will be the required, i.e. the degree of attenuation for each gallon of proof spirit per 100 gallons of wash.Example ; 1,200 gallons of wash mitial gravity 60° final gravity 20" proof spirit out-turned 96 gallons.
Thus 96 X| 1001,200| = 8;| 60-208| =| 408| = 5
In other words the out-turn of proof spirit is 8 per 100 gallons of wash, and as the production of this percentage is accompanied by a loss of gravity of 40° the wash has attenuated 5° for each gallon of proof obtained.Where the working is satisfactory and the wash thoroughly exhausted of its spirit, the results should invariably be between 4 and 5, never above the latter figure. In other words, the out-turn should never be below the minimum yield. Any great variation from this standard should be explained in column 21, as should also any considerable variation in the spirit out-turn from either single or combined distillation.When the spirit from two or more lots of wash is collected in one receiver, the quantity of wash used (column 4) should be bracketed together, and the spirit out-turn be shown, together with all the necessary calculation on one line only. The average attenuation would, of course, be calculated on the whole of the wash used.Officer-in-charge should ensure the thorough mixing of the raw materials in the wash before taking the initial gravity. The highest gravity, as declared by the distiller, or found by the officer-in-charge is to be taken as the basis of account.In order to ascertain the yield from a single distillation, the number of gallons of wash distilled should first be multiplied by the degrees of attenuation; the product should then be divided by 400 to give the maximum yield and by 500 to give the minimum yield. Thus the example given above, if the out-turn had not been known :
(a)the maximum yield should be 120 L.I'.
(b)the minimum yield should be 96 L.P.
Note. - Paragraphs 729 to 735, 755 to 758 and Rule 822 may be relaxed in the case of distillers working with post still by the permission of the Excise Commissioner.
