G’day all. I have read most people use 1.5mm holes in their perf plates, but I have a mate that has bought with him from NZ some plates that have 160 holes at 2.5mm. He is willing to part ways with them as he’s never got around to building a still and figures if I use them and supply him with a bottle every run he’s in front.
To put some context to my question, I’m building a 50l keg boiler with 2x 2400w elements and at this stage I’m not going to run a controller. I’ve got the pipe to make a 4x4” modules with a 500mm packed section. In time I might add 2 more modules if the need arises.
So my question is will it matter these plates have 160x2.5mm holes and will my boiler keep them loaded in theory?
Thanks guys.
