@BrucePerens_K6BP in my short career as an illicit distiller I would ditch everything except the ethanol-water azeotrope at 78.2° C. Working in a university I was lucky enough to have access to a well instrumened 10l lab glass still with a 1 metre column. A gas chromatograph provided QA.
There were homemade wine makers among my colleagues and the feedstock was the occasional below-par batch of wine.
A second, fast, distillation with botanicals yielded a passable gin - OK in cocktails.
