For all you glasser blokes out there, there is a easy way to clean your plates :handgestures-thumbupleft:
The thought of undoing all those threaded rods gave me the jitters, also i have a clear coat on the outer ring of my plates so i didn't want to muck that up. so I made up a blanking cap out of some flat copper and a bodgey easy flange, tri clamped that to the bottom of my column then filled it up with the acid mix and just let it sit. Once i was happy with how clean it was i tipped the mix into a bucket and now have my copper mesh packing in there getting a clean. I used the same mix of citric acid and water as mac.
After just a few hours it came up clean as. Admittedly mine weren't anywhere near as dirty as macs but they were pretty black looking. Now i know it's that easy I'll be doing it more often just to keep her looking nice, oh and keep the spirit tasting good :)) .
Unfortunately i didn't take any before photos but there is a couple of after ones.
