Always enjoy the continuous distilling examples. It seems a bit magical. It is certainly a tidy process for stripping runs.
You are a very generous person. Thank you for this free education on continuous distillation
Great to follow the proces and good explanation with all different washes,the result of this setup is great ,even that it was not a specialy designd for the job ,but multifunctional has also its benefits.Fantastic gear for sure.
Very cool . . Many thanks
WOW this is very cool
Very cool setup:-)
Thanks!!!
Great that you start set upp this we was talking about before ;) Sweden ;) you know who I am ;)
Heh, thanks. There is going to be more about this topic :)
You shuld get much more % the 40-50% I get 93% with simpel made
Hi, really nice setup, but I wonder how the siphon that levels the boiler works, can you explain a bit the system? Thank you.
What is the ideal depth of reflux liquid to sit on a plate. Understanding that once it reaches the height of the downcomer it drop down. Can you add some copper SSP or the like on the bubble plate to displace actual liquid volume and get some additional surface area interaction?
I see this process is very convenient, but you need pretty clear mash in order to pass through the pump and all the tubing, cannot use to distill on fruit, or is there a way? Also how effective this still is? How much alcohol is left in the used mash?
How do you get the spent mash from the boiler as it fills? Or do you have to stop once it fills? Or are you just pumping steam through the system? If so thats probably why your outputvis so low abv
Your drainage is very fast and quality may improve with a bit more reflux, but that is based on my experience from pot stills and not continuous.
hi there, well, maybe silly question but how to separate foreshoots and heads during continues distillation? Or maybe this kind distillation is just other version of stripping run?
great products and planning to order some, hopefully all this mess will end up soon and things will go back to "business as usual".
Cheers.
why is the ABV so low? the siphon ( experimental) dumps liquid off to the container on the right- is that to be recycled?
Andrey hi...Great video,👍 ..it's good to see you doing a trial on this setup. Seeing it all happen inside the glass column is good... it's easy to understand what is going on inside during the run. How well do those plates work as there is no build-up of liquid on them???....or is that how they should be in a continuous stripping run?? BJ
Hi, thanks for the comment! Yes, these plates work like in the video, they stop liquid but just a little. In the 2 inch columns that we make there are more plates, so they hold more liquid. There are many types of plates and packing for the continuous distilling on the market. I will try to shoot some more variation for this process. Also very soon I shoot a video where 3 inch column will be in work with plates like in 2 inch column - it's more efficient you will see.
Hi Andrei
As always, very interesting.
It appears as if the liquid dorps too rapidly with very little contact to the plates
I wonder if you would decrease the diameter of the holes in the plates the efficiency would probably increase. Don’t you think so too?
Oh yeah, holes must be smaller like in plates for 3 inch setup doctor-gradus.com/catalog/detali_brazhnoy_kolonny/blok_mednykh_tarelok_dlya_tsarg_3_500_mm/
I would expect the liquid on the plate to have colour? But I see no colour? What is happening?
What do you drive in the boiler at the bottom? Plain water, making steam?
Yes, just water in the boiler.
hi there, fascinating still youve got there. You said the wash was 12% abv, do you know what the outlet fluid abv was? Just curious about how much of the total alcohol was extracted....
Thanks! Usually I mix everything after distillation and look at ABV I've got. After this video I was really tired and forgot about that. I will provide more info in the next video about continuous still.
@@DoctorGradusInternational excellent, thanks.... im very keen to see how efficient these stills are, ive been batch stripping for years but this design seems easy to build and well explained..
your website is down FYI
I have to admit Andrei I am having a hard time trying to understand this process. Please show a flow diagram for slow people like me. Your heating water in kettle, pumping the beer through a cooling condenser that you are using as a preheater then across to the glass bubble chamber where it mixes with the water steam ? Then to the spent mash kettle? I don't understand. Is the hot water from the cooling condenser creating a vacuum that draws the spent mash from the column ?
Hey, I made video answer - th-cam.com/video/fM4MRUHvV3A/w-d-xo.html
Hi when will you start making the 3 inch steel column continous still as I will like to buy one for sure as it is excellent specially considering the fact that I am thinking of brewing 7%-8% abv whiskey and rum but due to the time required for distilling and handling the huge volume of liquid I never dared to do so but with your continous still it will be very easy
So please speed up the good work
Thanks! We probably will shot and publish video in the October.
@@DoctorGradusInternational Thanks a lot
I am eagerly waiting
Have you ever done a continuous high proof spirit run
I haven't, but we are working on small setup for that.
You doing wrong hope you lern soon ;) good luck
