Hoochy's experimental CM/LM column

[captainshooch]

It all started one day when I asked myself, what the change in ABV is between plates on a column. I decided to build something that might help answer the question and what follows is my trials and tests with a 6 plate bubble cap column.

First I fabricated some collection cups.

Then I drilled the bubble "tees" to accept a collection manifold

Then I assembled a collection manifold with Stainless steel tubing and Sawage Lock fittings

The plates, a 4" bubble cap assembly" were rearranged as to have the downcomer located in the center of the plate with a collection cup under each downcomer.
