Where do I put the reflux
Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2015 10:17 am
I have a question for those much more knowledgeable then myself.
I have had some very friendly maintenance staff from my work help me make some adjustments to my still.
The first section above the copper dome is about 500mm, the second section is 300mm which i packed with stainless wool, third section is a water jacketed reflux section of 200mm also packed with stainless wool. The top and bottom must remain as they have the correct fittings and the top section gives me some room for botanicals. The whole thing is 2inch with the jacketed section being 1.5inch internal with a 2inch jacket.
My question is what would be the preferred order of the middle sections?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
