Low wines causing column to flood
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2012 5:34 pm
Got a column flooding question.
I can reflux run nicely cleared 10%ABV wash straight from the fermenter on a 2200w element no problems (no power control). However, if I run the same volume of ~35-40% low wines on the same power I get column flooding during equilibration. :angry-banghead:
Does anyone know why? :think:
I don't really want to pull out my packing and repack it more loosely because, as packed, it turns 10% wash into 95% no worries.
