4 INCH GLASS DISTILLING COLUMN

4 Inch Tri-Clover Borosilicate Glass Distillation Column with Copper Bubbler Plates.

• If you are looking to add to you existing Still, this 4 inch Glass Distilling Column is perfect as it is one piece and easy to install.
• This distillation column is best suited for the Intermediate to Advanced hobbyist distillers entering the commercial sector who want a visual indicator of how the still is performing. New distillers are best suited to learn the basics with a standard Reflux or Pot Still range before venturing up to different types of distillation.
• This distillation kit is Cooling Management still, where as the Reflux Stills are a Liquid management still that restricts the flow of distillate forcing a desired reflux ratio.
• With this design you are controlling the input of water to the RC component on the column to knock down vapours to fill the bubbler plates, taking on a small portion of the lightest vapours first and condensing them back into liquid as your final distillate.
• Perfectly suited to making up to 96% ABV distillate with 3000w to 3500w of power. You can remove the borosilicate glass column and run as a pot still for gins, whiskeys, grappa, brandy and rums.

How The Bubble Plate Column Works:

• Vapor will come into contact with the plates and caps inside the column, causing the vapor to condense back into a liquid.
• This will happen at the very top of the still where the RC cooler will knock that vapour back into a liquid, causing a reflux action.
• As the liquid then falls from bubbler cap to bubbler caps down, the liquid that falls is eventually forced back up through the plates again.
• This process of being forced to run through the caps and plates multiple times creates an end product that has essentially been distilled multiple times in a single run.
• Meaning you can get higher proof alcohol when compared to an empty column.
• The bubble plates perform a similar function as the copper packing in the hybrid column, but does so more efficiently.
• When running a bubble plate column the first run will start in the range of 72.5%-85%, depending on the quality of the wash you can reach up to 95-96% ABV the highest grade ethanol you can distill.
