side question I'd be on both platers closer to the 10.5% mark and can as a result throw some serious heat at it with out over powering it.
Is there any stated or tested numbers to relate to input recommendations?
Had really wanted to try 4mm x 4mm spacing on 2mm hole back drilled under plate with 3.5mm

I hear what you're saying about going to 10% to be able to throw power at it...
I don't have any evidence to support this, but just from what i've read from the ADI (American Distilling Institute), they seem to recommend not exceedong 10%, with 7-8% being optimal? :think: (Not sure if this had been quantified in terms of taste tests or what?)
The fuel/oil industry is another kettle of fish, where it's not about the flavour, just how far they can push their equipment to achieve what they need at the fastest takeoff rate...
Experiments are always useful to the rest of us, I just wasn't going to experiment with something like this before I had my first bubbler built, so I went with Mac's recommendation and a proven design that meets the suggestions i'd read in professional circles...
