Bubbler video

Postby MacStill » Tue Oct 25, 2011 12:25 pm

Thought I would do a short video on running my bubbler, it's not the best but it's my first try....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kp7aJwzR8Y

I'm also uploading another one now from the end of the run that should be interesting, it'll be ready for viewing in a couple of hours.

Hope you enjoy :text-lol:

The dog was fully alert at the time, dont worry bout that ;) just try walking in the gate hey Stig :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

I'm glad you've all enjoyed the vids, I thought they pretty ordinary and was running out of shit to say.

I'll turn the music up a bit more next time, but sorry Frank the girls I get from donations dont dance :text-lol:

Cheers. :mrgreen:

For a first attempt at vid's they are great.
And yes, enter the gate and the hound from hell comes a runnin, then stops at your feet and starts licking your feet :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: but its an imposing sight to see him bounding towards you.
So, all new copper you say :text-lol: :text-lol: :text-lol: :text-lol: love it :text-thankyoublue: :text-thankyoublue:

Indeed, thanks Mac, good to see some bubbler action.

I do find the fluid level in yours to be significantly higher than mine, I'm not sure if that's cause the glasses are mounted lower to the plate than mine are, or because the sieve holds more liquid than my bubble cap does. My caps hold a static liquid level on my plate of about 5/8" thick, and the glasses on mine are about 3/4-7/8" above the tray floor.

Swede,

My plates are about 3/4 above the plates & the liquid level sits just at the bottom of the glasses, what you can see is a head (?) of bubbles on top of the liquid.

Perforated plates do seem to bubble more vigorously than bubble caps.

Well the fruits of this run has been sampled and it's bloody beautiful, another couple of months and it's going to be some of the nicest rum I've made yet :dance:

I'm not sure if running this early before the ferment finished is what has done it, but it definately has some caramel notes to it & the after taste is magic...... I'm going to try this again with the batch that's farting now :mrgreen:

You're welcome mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Early January is going to be exciting with some new product releases that will be accompanied by a vid or two ;-)

But that's all I'm giving away at the moment, until then it's :shh: :shh: :shh:
