All is not lost though. I run mine with 4 plates and strip my wash first. My current strategy is to strip 2 x 90 litre washes using a 4" pot setup then, combine the low wines and then run them though 4 plates with packed section.
My column set up is as follows (top down)
Blockhead (5 x 2 Tee)
RC
Packed section
SG Tee
SG Tee
SG Tee
SG Tee
100mm TC pipe (with recess for the bubble plate)
100 milk can
Bunnings dolly (approx 100mm high)
This all fits into my 2400mm shed with 5mm to spare. The reason for the dolly is to get the bottom of the drain tap high enough off the ground to be useful.
I have to say the neutraliser is the muts nuts and if you're considering one but are worried about the height, go with a similar configuration and run strategy to mine and you will not be disappointed.
Hope this helps you out Ned.
Just received my still from 5SD. Fantastic quality and service by Andrew. Just need to do a cleaning run and I am off and running.
Had to install a small electric winch in the shed with the wire coming down inside the brewing room.
Only got about 75mm to spare.
Identical to Professor Green's
:text-thankyoublue: Everyone who had input. Very happy.
p.s. That piece of rope will not stay there once I start distilling. Just in case anyone asks %-(
