Downcommers cause smearing? Havnt read about that...i am planning to run at high abv lots reflux...

I would have thought plate bath would have been main source of smearing :think:

Yeah but I’ve never seen downcommers that long... just thinking that it’ll take longer for them to empty their volume which may affect your run.

Yep I see your point and I have no idea about this stuff all new to me, we will see :D
I just figured the reflux is all the low proof stuff anyway as long as downcommer doesnt flood it wouldnt matter as long as vapour doesnt go up the risers.. :shifty:

Looks good mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I'm with doubleUJ on the downcomers. They'll definitely get a vapour lock though.

Well well some awesome work! Progress is underway.

Looks awesome, as mentioned you may encounter entrainment with your J trap design and be limited on the speed as a result. Try it before making any changes.

Pm sent about delivery of the 4in!

Looking good bluc.
Getting there and I reckon those j traps are mint. Seen them used before and didn't hear of any issues.
