On my keg that's a 2 inch outlet - so is the still a 4 inch or a 2 inch? If its a 4 inch intake on the still, but you only have a 2 inch outlet from the keg - isn't that a huge restriction to output?? Or is it regarded as a 4 inch still because of the widest point on the pot?
Thanks

I wouldn't, you'd be stripping out flavour. For Vodka I'd say go for it :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Really?
I saw the doctor on youtube doing a 4 plate bubbler run for a single malt whisky.
I thought the main benefit of the plates was to achieve a higher ABV & with no packed section, just a small roll of copper packing for sulphur removal, the flavours will carry over to the finished product. Adding back some tails & possibly heads to the heart jar is what I thought I was going to do.
