I've had a go with this stuff 3 times now. 2" column, 48" of SPP. Extraordinarily clean product. Good output rate, GREAT heads compression and fast heads removal.
My only gripe is I can't seem to put in more than 1400 watts without severely flooding the column. I believe (not certain) that it's because I'm packed to 48".
That's a lot of plates. 24 or more according to Riku's estimates.
I'm quite happy with the product with a strip and spirit run whereas I was doing a strip and 2 runs through the column previously.
Hope this helps your decision.

I've only done a cleaning run so far - so the jury is out - but running it with a bubble plate under the column was unbelievably fast - when it warms up here in the next few weeks, I should have some ferments going, and I'll post a proper report for you all - been bloody snowing this week :cry:

Kal wrote: I'm thinking that maybe the starting ABV might have an impact on the flooding point, as a 40% spirit run will push alot more alcohol gas up the column than a 10% wash run

Noted. I have edited the post to reflect the range of reported flooding points.
Interesting how you and mini both use a bubble plate. Any reason for that? I'm assuming it is different to a plate typically used in a flute (which is designed to flood and overflow)
