bubbler run advice?

Postby Tnuc05 » Sun Apr 14, 2019 8:19 pm

Hi All
Just wanted to see if my run is looking correct as im new to bubblers. hopefully the pictures are clear enough my first effort posting pics.
im running some Mac whisky thru a 6 inch 4 plate currently powered by 6000w of power getting around 93%
the bottom plate seems to be a bit dry to me but if i switch my power to 7200w the top plate floods like crazy and the bottom 3 are way too dry.

would like to know how to push it a harder being a 6 inch and without loosing quality if its possible or if its to fast as is.
when i do close the valve i can get a much higher output at around 88% but don't want to get a poor product as a result so i didnt keep that going long at that!
its its early days i cant compare taste to anything.
happy with the approx 3.5L to 4L hour just not sure where i should be at as all the forum is mainly 4 inch.

Thanks

The activity on plate looks about relative to my 4" I throw about 2800-3000w at my 4" on a flavoured run if that's any help. :-B

You could try reducing power.
Will help the lower plate load.

Without reducing power you could reduce take off so more reflux stays in the column.

Did you let it stabilize for long at the start of the run?
