Vapor bypass?Vapor going through the drain and onto the next plate rendering the plate or tray useless
Liberating bulk?Removing the majority of the alcohol from the wash and retaining it durring reflux in the column or thumpers
External drains?Plates/trays/thumpers need a way to cycle the alcohol back down the column while vapor mingles with the liquid, reflux
Larger trap?Vapor lock just like under your sink or in your toilet, prevents vapor bypass
*sigh*
Man I have no idea what these terms mean:(
As a brewer I'm pretty used to insider lingo but wha? Huh? Who?
Distilling is a whole new insider terminology...Yep as does everything
