I'll start with this.
1.5m x 56mm reflux still.
50l keg pot.
LPG burner.
Tpw washes. They are stalling at 1.010 so I ran them
I messed it with a sg of 1.090. My bad missed calclatored.
That why I thought after 3 weeks just to high a abv content.
Anyhow
I've changed the condenser and run it a few time prior to this issue so I think it's not the condenser.
The problem I have is the is kind of a burnt tast to the spite.not bad it's just there. Hasn't been with one's prior?
The condenser looks like it's running hot and the copper looks burnt. Dark with a ting of purple. I soaked it in vinegar to clean it prior to the last 2 runs. So I can rule out it was dirty.. I've attached some pics OT the condenser after 2 runs its starting to turn purplish again.
Output tem at the outlet it 80deg. Output water temp I'm not sure of but it's steaming in the cool night.
If I turn the condenser water flow up it cools the reflux to much. Output tem drops below 78deg.
seems to be refluxing right.
Any ideas??
Help appreciated
