Sorry Peter,
I may have led you astray there. Thanks for clearing that one up crow, makes sence :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I should explain my situation better,
I tryed 4 plates with 500mm packed section and it just wasn't doing the job for me, very slow to get high% and clean spirit. So I built an extra 300mm packed section to whack on top of that but that still didn't really get my abv or takeoff rate up so I put 2 more plates in that 300mm section and that seemed to do the trick. I now run at 96% at 2.5lph no problem with single runs no stripping and spirit runs. It is possible that I stuffed something up while I had the extra packed section on like bad wash (strong flavors like wine. Can't remember sorry), wrong packing (ss scrubbies and copper off cuts) or even bad run technics (not enough reflux, low power input)
Sorry for the confusion.
