Frequently Asked Questions:
Why do your reflux columns start with 4 bubble plates and not more?
While any order can be customized for more plates, starting with 4 plates allows you to potentially distill up to 95%abv as well as produce a flavored spirit of any type. This is a flexible and cheap setup for the hobbyist distiller.
What is the benefit of using plates over copper packing?
In short, there aren't any. There is nothing wrong with column packing, such as copper mesh, raschig rings, and stainless steel prismatic packing. The benefits of a plated column are, however, a consistent flavored product, simplified setup, and reduced maintenance.
Why are your plate sections copper?
Having copper in the vapor path helps reduce sulfur compounds in the final product. This helps prevent a meaty, off-tasting flavor.
Why do you suggest a stainless steel condenser?
Having a copper condenser increases the formation of copper salts. Depending on the acidity of your wash, these mildly toxic, greenish flecks can wind up in your product. A stainless steel condenser helps to minimize this, as well as the formation of ethyl carbamate.
