Hi Guys,
I'm looking to get set up with distilling, would like to be able to make flavored vodkas, gin & jim beam style cherry flavoured liqour.
I currently brew on a Braumeister 50 L single vessel system, I have 2 x SS Brewtech 50L unitanks both set up with the FTSS system, heat/cooling for controlled temperature fermentation, they're hooked up to a glycol chiller, the fermentation is taken care of by a brew pi spark system.
The brew PI spark is capable of controlling heat elements, mashing schedules etc.
I'm thinking of buying a 58L kegmenter, having an additional 4" sight glass fitted & two 2" tri clover ports for two 3500w heating elements that I already have, I will also get a drain fitted to the bottom of the kegmenter.
I plan on the brew PI spark controlling the heating elements?
I'm not sure how well this will work but I have the equipment so might as well try it?
My question/s are what type of column would be best for me, do I need the bubble plates or should I get a hybrid type of column, what diameter should I be looking at?
Would the glycol chiller be worth running for the cooling side or is it overkill?
thanks for any help or information received :)
