How much of the copper mesh that came with it should we put in the column and how tightly should it be rolled? I assume it goes in the bend above the top 2" reducer but should we pack the entire bend around to the condenser?
The closest answers I could find in the forums were:
"I have packed the two inch piping at the top of the still with copper mesh that 5Star supplied."
from here and
from here with a photo here."I rolled each one so that it was just oversize. Then using another cut off section of mesh I inserted my roll and then tightened the mesh "sock" top and bottom. This compresses the roll just enough to allow to fit inside the column."
