Randy, Never seen your plates up close. Your solution to "fluid by pass"(?) is 100% correct. Fluids moving through the plates should FUNNEL down Through the next plate. Each "Weire" should be separate for flow (interaction) and not flow through a down comer. (Liquid funneling ???) Wisdom: "What goes up, must come down" - Old Dog
How did you go about making those redirecting pieces on the downcomers and also if I have a single hole plate instead of a perforated plate, do you think it will still work similarly? Cheers and loving the videos!
Hi Michael, what I did was cut a piece of copper pipe then split it hammered flat cut like a tear drop drilled hole mounted to down comer took pliers bent the tip down I think this system will work for you just mount the deflector opposite of the hole in the plate cheers randy
@@stillworksandbrewing I've given thought to adapting to my copper 10 gal rig and giving it a try to see if I can get a higher proof and a smother product..... I'll be watching tomorrow for sure
Im not sure why they told you the downcomer goes up because it goes down, you can look that 2" up online and see the drain cap goes up and the downcomer goes down.
Great stuff, Randy! Glad you flipped the downcomer. No bubble head on a bubbleplate.
Congratulations on 10k subs!
Thanks 👍

Randy, Thanks for the great video, I have a small still with a 2” column. I would like to know where you got yours from. Thanks
I got from Aliexpress (cheap) might like to upgrade one day but for now working fine
Look forward to seeing this in action.
Hi Donnie come back tomorrow 7:00 est. to see in action
Where did you get the bubble plate and column from thanks
I'm intrigued by the bubble plate, keep it up and let us know how it works
Hey Tony. Heads up come back tomorrow 700 est to see it in action

How close can you out your bubble plates. In your collom can you put 5 or 6. Can you have only a ½ gap between them?
Im not sure why they told you the downcomer goes up because it goes down, you can look that 2" up online and see the drain cap goes up and the downcomer goes down.
I’m not saying it wouldn’t work, but it looks like a poor design in the first place, so good on you for identifying it and then sorting it out.
your logic is sound!
Cheers!!
Can you not twist the plates 45° so it misses the one below?
odd i missed this video. if you are looking to upgrade nd and you have a 50L still just go to a 4 inch. its well worth the few dollars.
Thanks for the tip cheers
derp
cheers
That setup is nonsensical (makes no sense) lol Should have bought a Brewhaus and with that you would have been making vids about making shine. cheers
Couldn't find that tower on Amazon. Sure would like to find it.
I’ll look to see if I can find it again
@@stillworksandbrewing I've found an upgrade from what I have...I think....on Amazon for $188. I have the new model Vevor 8 gallon...
