I don't think I was having co2 problems because I did not notice any spurting. I think what happened is that I had a small leak around the boiler lid and somehow this caused the system to act quirky. The same thing happened one time before and I had a small leak then.

Manu,
On your overflow for heat exchange does it consistently overflow a regular amount? I am noticing on mine that it overflows then stops, then overflows a little later again.

Re: Actually running a stripping (continuous?) still
Well I thought it was my setup but it must be something that happens with other setups as well. I am "guessing" that it's caused by a slight overpressure in the boiler. I guess it's not a problem unless the liquid level were to drop to much between overflow cycles. (below elements)
