Hi all, this is my first post here so hello!
I have a 200 litre column still with a whiskey head (onion ball) below the 4 plates and I have added another on top of the 4 plates. Long story, but the one that came with my still was not level and was therefore replaced. Doing my cleaning run with water and vinegar I am getting the results I expected with the top plate housing all most 3/4 full or bubbling product and the lower plate almost 1/3 full with the lower 2 at normal low levels.
My question is, has anyone tried this before? I’ll be Distilling gin and interested to see if this will cause problems or a benefit. Either way it looks nice :wtf:
Thanks in advance legends!

For gin I can't see any benefit. I wouldn't even bother with the plates for gin as long as you are starting with a neutral base spirit.

Yes, I agree but the still has been built to cater for other spirits also which I’ll eventually try but I didn’t want to be dismantling it all the time. The plates are going to strip out some flavour but I’m also hoping they will help with spending the flavours a little. Possibly not but there is a local distiller near me that even has their gin basket before the plates as they said the plates help the flavours meld together better.

Welcome to the forum, Im glad you sorted your posting issue out.
I moved your post here as its your first.
