flute or t500 for neutral?
I picked up a 6 plate ss modular bubble cap flute yesterday to start making whiskey. I've been using a turbo 500 for some time now to make neutral. Would I be better off using my flute to make neutral or strip with the flute and fill the turbo with low wines? Or any other options given the equipment I have.
Re: flute or t500 for neutral?
Are your plates lose? Or soldered in? If they are lose then keep them out and put your packing in after a few strip runs. I'm building my flute and I'll be running 3 to 5 plates with about a 20 to 24 inch backed section above it.

Not a bad idea, so remove all the plates and fill the column up with rolled up copper mesh?yakattack wrote:Are your plates lose? Or soldered in?

Nah. I'd used lava rock (scoria) or marbles before copper mesh. (If your column is ss make sure you do add some copper mesh but not the whole column. ) but the cats meow would be spp sized for your column diameter. But copper mesh would still work.

Your plated column will make a nice neutral, you might just have to run it through twice. Even twice through would still be quicker than a t500.
Adding a packable section would be a nice addition, but you'll need all 6 plates under it for good clean single run vodka.
You wont want 6 plates for flavoured stuff.

You design it, I make it. Copper and Stainless. Down under. PM me.

Thanks for setting that straight empty. I'll have to make sure I make a 6th plate for mine as well.

Re: flute or t500 for neutral?
Its been some time now since original post but it seems to be close to what I am after
How did you end up going about it ?
I have 3"4plate flute and got a 21" piece i can fill with lava rock or ss scrubies
Or i can add 4 more plates, i got a piece of copper sheet left that i can make another removable tree and put it inside 21" piece
Or the other option i am considering is making a 6" pipe with boka plates in it, im wondering if it worth it
