Now for my speculation on problems you may have with the current design (please don't take this the wrong way as I would love to see this work).
The wash on the top tray is theoretically going to be higher ABV than the trays below. A higher water content and thus higher boiling point on the lower trays may cause problems. It could be as simple as slowing down your wash input or having slightly larger elements on the bottom than the top.
An initial problem may be monitoring the output from the boiler to be sure that your removing all, or at least the majority, of the alcohol in the wash.
Correct me if I am wrong but a continuous boiler would only work for stripping as your going to be getting heads and tails through the whole run. This would mean your boiler would be a one horse pony and you would also need a conventional boiler for your spirit runs.
I am gonna keep a close eye on this thread and see what come of it. Hope I helped mate.
