Vapor management take off rates question

Post by copperlover1 »

Hello all. I am looking to see what I need to change to increase my take off rate. Currently running 2" VM . 2' packed with ss scrubies. 1" take off to 1" gate valve reduced to 1/2 condenser. 15 gallon keg on propane burner. Run time. 15 gallon gerber wash fermented to very dry wine. 1 hour heat up to temp. Reduce heat to 1/4 open gas valve.15 minutes stabilize.take off fore shots. Close and 15 minutes stabilize. Open gate valve all the way. Collect about 7/8 qt per hour at 95%. Collect about 6-1/2 qts at 95% and temp never changes once. Temp goes up proof goes down end of run. So what can I change to get a better take off rate?
