I could be wrong, I often am, but the word "modification" is not often used on this site

It was more to let the vapor pass through some copper, not to stop boil over

Maybe i used the wrong word in the topic -shrugs-

If you have the time or inclination to look back into history, someone one this site posted something similar, a while ago.

My time is too precious to seek out the relevant post.

The consensus back then was do not trust a perforated disk to stop the possible boil over, but to use small boil pieces.

Why does this concern Mods?

Yeah that's what I was thinking.. just gotta try and fab one up

Yeah we don't have any copper coins here in AUS so I use the copper saddles that are designed for the T500... how many should I be using? I already use the ceramic boil enhancers as well.

Copper in the vapor path, on legs like a sputnik can't be a bad thing.

But.... This should be as well as the copper in the bottom, not instead of.

This is because it is a boil regulator and a nuclei for bubbles as well as doing its copper/sulphite job.

This is why coinage and pipe offcuts are good.

So, I'm bored and currently working nightshift.... I've been doing a huge amount of reading and research after becoming obsessed with my new found hobby. Although this is all very new to me and I plan on sticking with my AS for a while yet, the thought of getting myself a T500 gets me excited.

Now... I've been thinking... I know you guys talk about putting copper in the bottom of the still, so I've done that, but I was wondering if you could fabricate up some sort of copper plate with holes in it (similar to a potato masher size?) and put your copper saddles on top of that so that the condensed distillate would pass through the copper as it does in a normal column still, i was thinking the copper plate would have 'legs' so it stood inside the boiler..

I hope this makes some sort of sense to someone.. i'll try draw up a picture soon

any feedback always greatly received
