Hey guys.
I've got a 5 plate Neutralizer & 4 x 4" sight glasses which I intend to run for colured spirits. I'm just curious to know how much difference there is between 5 plates & a packed section against 4 plates & the same packed section for neutrals. The sight glasses are taller than the Tee's on the neutralizer & sitting on top of my 100lt milk can boiler, 4 plates with packed section is as high as I can go if I want to run the sight glasses for a neutral. Wash will be pre stripped & 40% abv for the spirit run.

If using a stripped wash , there will be very little difference between 4 and 5 plates.
Most of the magic happens in the 500mm packed section

Shouldn't have huge impact just make sure you run it at around 2.5LPH or slower (without breaking the stream) and you should be right

Thanks guys.
