You could possibly get away with 3600w, but its going to run hard. Just saying, as you may be able to swap one of your elements for a 3600watt as a stop gap till you get a controller.

Then you'll see the magic of perf plates when it just stops at the tails. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Well done on the first run BB, the first of many.

Thanks empty. It was amazing seeing plates load and bubble and deliver spirit just like in your videos. As you watch it refluxing and redistlling and rising and falling its almost hypnotic. You really appreciate the journey the spirit takes.

Many times I nodded and went "oh that's good!".

Stop it i am getting exited , i want to see it, the bubbles in the window :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

1 2many - watch mac & empty's videos. You will have a bubbler chubby.

The great thing is that after all the vids and pix I've seen I could easily tell when it was close to working. Even without all the plates perfect you could say "yep...that's a bubbler with the perforated plates working Nd the down comers working " so watch all the vids here and read Mac's instructions and you'll see the dance of the alcohol fairies!

I did a test of my 750w water pump today in my 1000L tank. All good, the pump punches out water at far better than the garden tap and there's no waste.

I'm so addicted I'm doing another half bubble half pot run tomorrow on the next 40L fig wash. I hope by throwing more recycled water at the reflux I can get a better run ahead of the voltage controller arriving.

I'm now 75% convinced the fig wash is rubbish but there is a lot of booze in it. Having filtered all the scraps I guess at least 12-15% so I'm gunna bash through another hybrid HOT run tomorrow and see what I get.
