Re: Full reflux
Oh this and that, but he knows nothing of the water flow in a T500.
I know that I'm the only one on here with a still like mine and only I can run it.
But a lot of people on here run T500's, if I keep my questions on the running of those
I can extrapolate that to the running of mine.
I'm sorry if I seem to be causing confusion, you'all are a lovely bunch on here and I'm sure you'll forgive me.
Regards, Marc.

Re: Full reflux
Nowt to apologise for - I could see what you were getting at but wondered about how your still was built.
I probably didn't help, having never run one.

Re: Full reflux
No need no need. I hope to running the still for the first time this weekend.
I will report on it's function and my incompetence.

Re: Full reflux
I doubt that that Manning still will reflux.
I'm quite happy to be proven wrong on that thought, so don't hold back.
My Amphora is a reflux and I haven't yet, ever, managed to get it to perform the same way twice. There are a lot of reasons why, not the least is the viability of the boiler charge.

I seldom take myself seriously....

Re: Full reflux
What are the indicators that it is or isn't refluxing?

Re: Full reflux
This has become a slightly jumbled and confusing post.
I would suggest that if you have run off in excess of 90% then you may safely assume that your still is refluxing, and doing it well.
Robert.
Yes, it can also do this at lower abv's, I am trying to point you in the direction that most here go.
Refluxing is basically just sending lower abv spirit back down the column.
Most here would be happy keeping +90%.
I am, most of the time.
Mash admits to being out of his depth, and not all reflux stills rely on puddles, but he made a valiant effort.

There is no ONE way.

Re: Full reflux
Absolutely.
I was struggling for a word to cover "the point".
