yes that describes my still. and no blue distillate.Hound Dog wrote:Does anyone that keeps copper only on the ascending side and runs all stainless on the descending side ever have blue distillate? Just curious.
on a hot stripper, the deeper tails come through with a blue tinted cloudy, pretty much like the OP's photo...but i collect all the strip in one pail, so it's all cloudy. it looks this way under cool white flourescent or outside on a blue sky day. under warm white light, it just looks cloudy.
does not come over in spirit run.
no excess nutes, all grain, i'd have to check my PH notes for a good number but i think the last wort was 4.9 when it went in the still.
the top of the plate patina is 97-99% covered in light to dark brown, what appears to be cooked on oils. no blue where this is present. sometimes a small amount of blue corrosion only on top of the copper plates, but so little i don't sweat it.
never any blue on the bottom of the plate, but there is a pink patina only on the bottom.
