Is there stuff in the oils you don't want in the final product? Thinking maybe there is as the carter head oil collection is below vapour path? But no idea never used one just thoughts..

Carterheads pass the vapour through the oils collected in the bottom.
No need for a gin basket as i will have one. carterheads have basket for vapour and bubblecap for oils from what i have seen. ill try find the thread with the diagram in it in half hour or so

Otherwise, you've just got a thumper with a gin basket above it.
WTDist wrote:yea i was planning on doing gin runs with hearts only after cuts. does it help to have higher ABV for vapour infusions or is a 40% boiler charge good enough run like a pot with the thumper (oil reservoir). I just saw alot of people running with plate sections in before carter heads and blockheads i thought it might be standard.
What is better for gin runs?
High ABV vapour (say packed section first to boost ABV) or
Lower ABV Vapour (pot with thumper)
