Okay, I made another batch... I started with only 6 quarts, ran the heat a little higher, had to add a couple of liters of pre-boiled water before I felt comfortable leaving it on overnight... So, of a total of 8 liters, 3 were distilled, 3 were left in the pot, and 2 were lost to evaporation. This knocked 2-3 hours off the cycle time, finishing in about 15 hours instead of 18.
So I'm obviously pushing the available surface area about as hard as I can with room temperature air for cooling. I've been thinking about ways to build a higher area condenser using inexpensive components... We'll see. Meanwhile...
