My favourite still setup does it all . . . almost. I can't really use it to make vodka. Today I'm going to change that!
The takeaway is that when it comes to reflux stills, more packing height or more plates equals higher abv. So lets add 60cm of packed spool.

6:40 process engineer here, if you want to take a deeper dive into the theory, check out the HEPT concept for a packed column design. it gives you the packing height equivalent to one theoretical plate, so you can estimate the theoretical number of plates for your packed section.

Greetings from Russia. To produce vodka, you need the most fortified alcohol. To do this, our moonshiners use columns with a nozzle - a spiral-prismatic nozzle. With a column height of 1 meter and a column diameter of 2" you get 96.6% alcohol content.

You can get 94% out of a. T500 No need at all for fancy plates and extra column that extra 1% is a whole lot more time and Power bill

Love your videos. Keep up the great work. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Great video as always Jesse. I run a 4" x 4 plated column with a 500mm copper mesh packed section & consistently hit 93-95%, it's amazing how much that packed section bumps up that last little bit 🤘🏻
|
I love the shirts, I've ordered about a dozen so far, just waiting on the coins that you set on your glasses. I used my T-500 with the reflux unit and my final run came out to be around 96% and I made some wild berry Brandy and brought the ABV down to a relatively smooth 35% and she came out so good, you have a great Thanksgiving and thanks for all your instructional knowledge

Great video, Jesse! And thank you, your videos are packed with great information! Also, I'm one who has two drawers of the Into the AM T-shirts🙃😅 and I love them I wear them daily🥃🥃🥃🥃💯

Love the casual '"tutu'ed" with the power'. The amount of times I've had to explain what that word means to non-Kiwis because it's baked into my soul.
|
95.6 abw, 97.2 abv is azeotrope. Those alcohol hydrometers are still measuring density which is weight, not volume.

tHANKS FOR THE NEW CONTENT.

Another great vid Jesse. thank you.

Been doing that way for years 😊
Have 3" 4 plate flute I've built myself and 24" packed above forth plate 😁
|
I have the converter kit for the T500. as well as 2 2in site glasses great for adding packing or as a botanical basket. 100% worth it.
|
I used to get 95% out of a 12% sugar wash using a 60 litre stainless keg 2 1800watt elements (turn one off when up to temperature) with 3" Stainless collum full of broken Glass as packing about 800 high with 3mm plates with holes holding the glass in. 4 12mm tube's evenly spaced welded trough the 3" tube sideways. so tap water would run slowly through the condenser out then garden hose loop down trough the 4 sideways tube's welded trough one side out the other side of the collum using garden hose to loop down to the next tube cooling glass around the tubes then out to grass or sink. Basically creating 4 condensers inside your collum as well as your normal condenser running the same water.. hopefully makes sense. Would like to see you test one.
Kind regards Australia

That was really good.

It would be awesome if you did a review on several cheap vector still , mostly interested in a review of their electric still and what you think of them.

Hey Jesse, I was running 4 inch 4 plate bubbler with a 500mm packed section using scoria. (Getting 92%). Got 20mm scoria from Bunnings and cracked it to about 10mm. You really need to clean clean clean as its pretty dirty. Very easy to clean just boil it after every couple of runs. I must try it in the 2 inch copper still one day. I did put a copper roll in the column before and after the scoria as it was stainless steel. Cheers John 10:21

Kudos… Love these video’s!
I am super keen to buy a still to start my journey into the craft.
I am considering a plated still because of the modularity but I have a question.
I understand the size of the column makes a difference to the speed of distillation but does it make a difference to the quality of the distillate?
|
Really nice one mate! I have been longing for you to touch on this topic :)
What is the total height of the column including the sightglasses and plates? And do you think it would be possible to replace those with just straight packed pipe as well and still hit azeotrope? Or should you go for an even longer column if you dont have plates?
Thx mate and have a kickass week :)

I would love to see a comparison to a run without the plates, just the packed sections. It would give us a great comparison to the effect of plates vs packing
