New 3" column build opinions
So Im close to pulling the trigger to buy parts to build my next still. My plan is a keg boiler with electric element and controller. A 3" column on top of that with 4 bubble plates and a CCVM style condenser above that. I would stick with a 3" takeoff so I could theoretically get a 1:1 reflux ratio with the PC raised completely above the takeoff. My question is: would I be pulling any flavor at all in that configuration? I know its not going to be as deep a flavor as a pot still, but will I be able to get any flavor to carry over? I know I can lower the PC and get a higher reflux ratio for neutral. Id appreciate any advice or insight.
