120. Wash and spirit outturn Form R.D. 9.

- All data for the maintenance of the wash and spirit outturn register will be got from records R.D. 5 and 8, the 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 degrees on the Saccharometer by which the highest or initial gravity and the final or lowest one differ. Thus in the case of wash with initial gravity of 60 degree and final one of 20 degree the attenuation would be 40 degree and the calculation for column 20 would be as follow:-Multiply the proof litres of spirit outturned (column 18) by 100; divide the product by the number of litres 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 result required i.e. the degree of attenuation for each litre of proof spirit per 450 litres of wash.Example. - 1,200 litres of wash initial gravity 60 degree final gravity 20 degree proof spirit outturned 96 litres.
Thus 96 x| 1001200| =| 60-208| =| 408| = 5
In other words the out turn of proof of spirit is 8 litres per 100 litres of wash and as the production of this percentage is accompanied by a loss of gravity of 400 the wash has attenuated 50 for each litre of proof spirit obtained.Where the working is satisfactory and the wash thoroughly exhausted of its spirit, the result should invariably be between 4 and 5, never above the latter figure. In other words, the outturn 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 outturn from either single or combined distillation.When the spirit from two or more lots of wash is collected in one receiver the quantities of wash used (column-4) should be bracketed together and the spirit out turn be shown, together with all the necessary calculations 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 litre 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 in the example given above if the outturn had not been known-
(a)the maximum yield should be 120 L.P.
(b)the minimum yield should be 96 L.P.
Note. - Paragraphs 29 to 35, 55 to 58 and rule 119 may be relaxed in the case of distilleries working with pot still by the permission of the Excise Commissioner.
