Is there times where you need to de-tune, dismantle the column and reduce the number of plates or even go the whole way and take them all out and use it as a simple pot still (other than distilled water). Are there certain recipes in the T and P that benefit from doing it why? when? how?
I am running a 4 plate bubbler (Mac4SG), no packed section (yet).
I have only done a TPW, FFV and currently have a WBAB wash almost ready - so far me and the misses are really enjoying them :dance: . I am only doing single runs @89 - 93% abv.I get about 4.5L of product after the fores and cut that down to just over 3.5L as hearts. I do want to get past the whole using essences thing and I am slowly trying to learn and get a few runs under my belt. :obscene-drinkingdrunk:
Also, when is a sac run required. I did one when I first got it and I know you have to do it again if introducing any new gear into the vapor path but what about after just soaking plates in citric (and rinsed) or putting the column through the dishwasher double wash style?
