Waiting on delivery of my 4" Copper Boka and are wondering wether insulating the column is advantagious to keep temps stable?
It'll be mounted via 4" to 2" adapter to a 50L keg fired up via a Mongolian natural gas burner.
Was just going to run some 10 mm camping mat, then duct tape, then aluminium tape.
Any thoughts?

Tall packed columns need to be insulated.Your plane sounds OK to me

I have run Bokas un insulated and insulated and the differance is un insulated you have temps fluctuations where as a insulated Boka runs like a automatic. I always insulate my Bokas... :handgestures-thumbupleft:

just a thought , when running a plated still as a hybid using a packed section do you think it would be advantageous to insulate the packed section or to short to make much difference (sorry for the highjack)

I reckon it wouldnt hurt to insulate it, the principal is still the same :handgestures-thumbupleft:
