I'd think about an LM or VM, but with the scoria section I have on the current one I can already make a nice neutral at a reasonable rate.
So the question is, what's next?

hey B.C
you are welcome to try but i have done low wines run thru a bubbler after stripping and i wont be doing it again any time soon... i dont think that the flavours carried as well as a normal wash and it litterally took all fn day. we started in the morning and it was dusk before I just cracked it and just turned of the still.
for neutrals I am going to be adding a 500mm x 4" copper scrubber packed section to my FSD bubbler above the last T. its not much of a build project for you but..

There were a few factors that limited our output rates that day Linno, such as power input for an 80ish litre charge of 40%.... the day would have been a lot quicker if we could've thrown a lot more heat at the boiler :handgestures-thumbupleft:

With low wines in the boiler and 4800w I reckon we could take at least 4 to 5 L/PH without sacrificing ABV or too much flavour, perhaps even quicker.
But with 3600w & 80 litre charge of wash I have a very relaxing 6 hours, single run & full flavour.... stripping runs really are a thing of the past for me ;-)
