Anyone used the T500 Stainless Steel Saddles?

[Myles]

Just pop into any supermarket and buy a few stainless scrubbers to top up the column if you don't have enough packing.

You will always use them for something.

Cool. Thanks Myles. Will do that.

So when I emptied the column to replace the ceramic saddles with the stainless steel, I found that the top of the column had copper saddles in it. I wasn't expecting that in the copper column version. Because of this, I decided to put my 100g of new copper saddles in the top and fill the rest with the stainless steel. Doing this, the 500g bag of stainless steel was more than enough to fill the column.

I found the temperature variations a bit harder to control to begin with using the stainless steel. But that might just be because I'm still very much learning all this. But I had the hang of the temperature control by the time I had discarded the first 100ml output.

Since then, temperatures have been easy to control. About an hour from the end of the run now.

Damn I love this hobby!

Try to remember that you had a life before this!
Whatever it was.
If you do not take care,then you will devote your life to this hobby and spend all your free time online talking to your distilling buddies.
You have been warned
