Yes, I do understand that.Thanks for the heads up. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
That's why I'm looking for scoria in 14 mm and 20mm size range.
I've read posts by others ie. Crow, saying that they would try a mix of sizes.
Some have said hit it with a hammer and and sort out the stuff till around 10mm (for a 4" column)
These are for packed sections above plated columns.
Haven't really come across anyone who is using a full packed column of scoria that I can remember.
Only a few scraps if info out there about 6 inch packed sections, if there are threads about packed columns of that size, they have eluded me.
Not a overly discussed topic.
The saga that was making SPP for my current rig has left me with a nervous twitch.I did not want to undertake such a mammoth effort on this one.
I wanted to start with a large diameter scoria. Test it. Repack with a smaller diameter. Test it. Pack with the small stuff.Test it
Just wanted options
Am going to use recommended SPP sizes/ratios as guidelines.
Wanted to see how the different sized packing work with mesh cones every 500mm like Riku has found.
And compare it to the reflux distribution plates that Harry has shown examples of when he was still active.
(If your out there Harry, your knowledge, advice and guidance are missed in the distilling community)
So, really I'm just asking if anyone knows of a place to buy run of the mill landscape scoria in the Sydney area. :D
