Neutraliser - Vapour Leak
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2020 7:34 pm
Hi Guys,
Gave my still it’s first run today (completed vinegar clean and sacrificial run).
Bit paranoid about vapour leaks so kept checking with a mirror on all joins. Towards the end of the run noticed small drip of water from two of the tri clamps between two of the bubble plates, checked them with a mirror and there was slight frosting on the mirror on two clamps.
Tried tightening up both clamps but no change. Shut still down, was close to end of the run.
I’m intending to pull the still down in the morning and reset the two problematic sections
Does anyone have any other tips on how to fix and ensure that I won’t get vapour leaks once and for all?
Cheers
