finished column but i may have a problem

Post by runingkind »

I made my v.m. column.It has a 10'long double coil from 1/4 i.s.dia.tubing.slated plates,the over all length is 45"highx2"dia.
Made a water run in it and the condensed water was very hot coming out the collection tube,but it was all liquid no vapors.
The themp was steady at 206f.I know that a mash will be a lot different,but will it get that hot.other than that I love it.Thanks for all the info on building it.you guys are the best
have a great day

try with wash it will run different,, water boils at much higher temperature and takes more to condense.
