Hi all, was sitting in the shed drinking and contemplating the distilling universe. Does it matter what speed the vapor goes through the Lyme arm?. Does slower mean that when it hits the condensor it will produce more goodness?. Thanks for any feedback.


Cheers

so long as its coming out cool she'll be ok.

Hello all,

the Tony Ackland orginal web site discusses Lyne arm impacts on flavour and abv. Makes sense Inclined=more reflux= improved abv's etc.

I know I'll never build another pot still with a flat or normal position Lyne arm..I reckon it smears runs as condensate can just sit and pull through later.

Two other factors pop into mind here.. Firstly McStills build of that Swan neck pot...and it's bloody tremendous stripping rate, an inclined type....and Stephens build of his inclined pot with it's native extremely high abv's....another good designed incline type.

I reckon there's a few benifits in either the swan neck or inclined arms.

Well my 2 cents worth
