Re: Running a column still
I always pull the fores then put it into reflux.TedL wrote:OK cool, as you probably read in my earlier post I was refluxing for 30-45 minutes and taking fores and heads off after that. But I'll try and reflux for 20 minutes or so, that'll save me a lot of propane.frunobulax wrote:I wait 15-20 mins then pull the Fore's and heads off slow, then slowly increase the take off rate when I feel the heads are almost gone. It's hard to say how long
it takes, every run is different. 30-45 minutes I'd guess

Re: Running a column still
This thread has been helpful. It's nice getting feedback from other column/flute users. I've been on the still dragon forum and I think they just like running their still just for something to look at, not to make anything that's good to drink.
Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.
Re: Running a column still
Frunobulax, your entire still is copper? Even your boiler? I would love to see some pictures of your rig.frunobulax wrote:I have a 4" column. The sections look just like Tedl's but the entire still is copper.

No, Not the boiler. Just plate sections, Deflag. Crossover, shotgun and parrot. I do have the same 3" Stainless windows though.

Is there a deflag on there?

Gee, I just installed Tapatalk on my Android phone and found the setting in under a minute... Can't be any harder on an iPhone... Settings > General > Signature > None... Done...!!!

Re: Running a column still
The Ads that you see are a bit trickier from what I've read... Might be easier with the Pro (purchased) version if you don't have that... Can't say for sure... Perhaps the existing Tapatalk topic or another (more likely) would be a better place to continue such discussion...Tinner22 wrote:I found the signature fine it's the ads I can't find to stop

Re: Running a column still
If you follow the link in Tater's thread, you'll be taken to a tapatalk blog. In it, it says to go to the tapatalk dashboard, "monitization" page and click, "disable". Then close tapatalk and restart. The ads should be off.Tinner22 wrote:I found the signature fine it's the ads I can't find to stop
tapatalk is one of those parasite host websites that I avoid like the plague (that they are). They are paid for by the ads they attach to all the members' communications....talk about "big brother's" control! I can do without it. But my question for the users, "what does the app do that is good for you?". I don't see any goodness.
