Hi, Some advice please.
Have been using an alembic dome and T500 on the grainfather, but I am looking a going to the next level and selling the other systems. (Not the GF)
I like doing all grain malt whiskey (Beer brewing for years) and a clean neutral spirit for gin and other whiskey essence's. Hopefully get away with one system.
Q1. I think by what I have read that you can use the 5 plate bubbler to do both, by altering the configuration and packing. Is that correct. ?
Q2. Can you do a fast stripping run on the 5 plater. ?
Q3. I am looking at at 50 litre keg boiler also with twin 2200 elements and hope this will run off a 10 amp power. (different power point in brew room of course) ?
Q4. I think both elements only need to be on to get to the reflux stage and than switch to one element.
Q4. Presently my water circulation is via a small pump from 1000 litre tank and would run at least 3L PM suffice ?
Q5. At present I do not Carbon filter, as I make good cuts and hope I can do the same on this system?
Q6. Any recommendations. Tried looking at the 5 Star Store, but it not up and running.
Q7. Any thoughts on the attached system in the photo. :text-thankyoublue:

Q1) yes 5 plates and 500mm of packed section will give a good neutral. 6 plates even better.

Q2) yes but I would remove the packed section for this. If you run slow enough you can get a reasonable neutral with one run. All brown spirits 4 plates no packed section single runs :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Q3) I would go for 2400w elements

Q4) yes. 2400 should run 4 plates ok. May want a voltage controller to make things easier

Q4.1) should be ok

Q5) no filter needed

Q6) dont buy the cheap shit one in your photo. Go 5 star, best quality. Call Andrew on number in this link

Q7) cheap crap made from cheap materials that will rust. No costomer service or back up service. Go 5star :handgestures-thumbupleft:
