Guilty as charged. :violence-stickwhack:
I was trying to keep the info to the important variables, but then how do I know what the important variables are when I don't know what the problem is.
- ~1400mm x 2" insulated liquid management column packed with stainless and copper scrubbers -- copper scrubbers in upper third.
- 50lt insulated keg boiler brought close to boil with 2 x 2,200w electric elements and then shut down to 1 x 2,200w.
I was thinking the higher alcohol content of the low wine was the reason why it behaved differently, flooding the column. But I'm not sure what it would be about the higher alcohol content that would cause low wines to flood the column. Is it the lower boiling temp of low wines compared to 10% wash, meaning that the same amount of heat applied to the same volume of liquid leads to
more vapour and, therefore, more liquid in the column when one's running low wines? :think:
