In all honesty, as a pot still they are fine.
But why are you mucking around with this when your equipment list states 4" 4 plate bubbler
Hi Moonies
I saw this post today and to be honest it was an excuse to ask a question which I've been mulling over for some time
So to paint my picture if i may...
Ive got my fsd reflux and fsd pot (2 inch )and a pretty crappy essentia boiler which doesn't look like it will last much longer and I've got a brand new 30 liter keg which I cut a whole in the bottom and put one of Andrews taps in plus this same keg has a 4 inch tri clamp fitting on top
So mostly now I'm using my pot with the bwko recipe.I do a strip of three washs then a spirit with the pot with 2 coils of copper in.A few weeks ago I took one of the copper coils out and did my spirit run with one coil.Then last week I took this out and did the spirit run with no coils
I tasted the product the next day and hated it.BUT it was only a day old.So I put some toast in and for the third day in a row it tasted better - so I'm encouraged by this
I might go back to putting some coils in but I won't do anything until my latest experiment settles down and I see if I really like it .
So my question is
Looking ahead and seeing I think I'm developing a propensity for this type of product what would you suggest I add now to maybe make use of my unused keg ( element etc) or if I need to buy another boiler and perhaps thinking I might also want to get a bubbler type still but something that I could still use parts or all of my fsd pot condensor with etc. So utilising all my fsd good stuff and adding to it that will enhance the Grain type direction I seem to be taking
BTW I am really happy with my reflux column etc
