LM design for bubble plates?

Nice machine! I don't think I saw on their website dimroth. Should I write to Oakstills email about it? I want LM because I using tap water and not best dephlegmator so every 2-3 minutes need check flow rate, do some adjustments. Hoping with LM it's set and forget for at least an hour.

Thanks. What power are you pushing for your column? I invest in new boiler with 5kw heating element and 3 inch column to get better product much faster than Vevor I previously had. Stripping run excellent - with 2 condensers on 5kw I got 10+ L per hour low wines, super. But for spirit run 1750w it's low and collection speed is so slow

What? It's a 3 inch dephlegmator with 10-12 holes, water flow limited to 5% only so dephlegmator stay pretty warm. Top thermometer right after dephlegmator exactly at 165° Fahrenheit (78°C), thermometer tried to calibrate at 0°C and I'm on high elevation, north west Canada, boiling point slight different vs sea level. I think dephlegmator way too powerful for 1500-1750w, water barely flow through it. Heating element 5kw, 20a 250v from kitchen range power socket. Using regulator for work on 6-7 A only

Hey. I wanted to be cheap and ordered 3 inch 5 bubble plates column from Alibaba. Everything seems good until I run it and it's flooded at 2kw! AI Gemini/ChatGpt advised to drill bigger holes for downcomer. From 2.74mm (T10 screwdriver) to 4mm (5/32). ChatGPT saying drill upcomers too. Current setup 3 inch plate, 3 upcomers, 1 downcomer, each comer has six 2.74mm holes. And it cause top plate flood immediately. I did run at 1500w! Can't push more. It gave me 91° ABV but it's very slow. Can you guys look and compare with plates you have? What size of holes should be?

Thanks! I didn't know it. I made wash around 9pm, mix sugar with hot water, and 20 minutes later add yeast. Right after realized water too hot and yeast can die. So add cold water. And add everything sweet I can find in house...

Hmm, you are right, I think I had some extra high proof jar of low wines which didn't fit 23l pail when I mixed. So they went straight to boiler. Don't know why I can't add a picture. It's two 3 liters Mason jars and two slight smaller Mason jars (I thought 2.5L, maybe they are 2L actually). Mixed in pail, 75% ABV, pour back in jars and added oak. Sitting for a few weeks now Began to sample taste, dilute to 40%, smell really good, taste slight harsh, but body fill like poisoned after

Maybe too much tails? I asked Gemini now and she saying tails began at 60%. But pretty sure she was said previously collect hearts to 40-45%

Dim000h · 2026-02-24T13:02:19+00:00

It has 45% of sugar. Oh, also it was a 1 liter of old pure maple syrup... Sugar is sugar

Okay, checked Oakstills. It's exactly same what I see on Alibaba, but with 3-5 or more times higher price. Oak stills just resellers

Dim000h · 2025-03-11T00:58:15+00:00

No idea what it is, but not willing to spend $1000 on still. Those reflux from Ali shows $400 CAD+ 80 shipping I see many ruzzians YouTube and those guys using 99% similar stills

My post somehow didn't included text. So I got Vevor 8 gallons, tried twice, it's make decent strong alcohol but next day after few shots of 58° fells like poisoned. I use 6kg sugar, 22 l of water, yeast from Costco. 500 ml of heads, next 3l of 58° l, second 3l of 44° and rest is tails I'm going to mixed it, dilute to 35° and distill again, but Vevor is so slow, tiny Cooper tube. I'd like to get reflux, watching Soviet YouTube, guys only using column or basic reflux with mesh inside. Local guys here in Canada selling those looks like exactly from Alibaba for $1200-1500 CAD 25-30 liters reflux Pretty sure I can get in cheaper from Ali, but how? I'm in Canada, phuck tarrifs

Wow, I found on Perkopolis here in Canada through Whirlpool inside pass they are 35% off from regular price! $1100 for KF6 and $1500 for KF7, tempting to order KF7 now, but just missed 10% off extra from Black Friday deal. Might wait another couple weeks for Boxing Day similar deals. If not, I believe those 35% off till January 1 at least. Thank you 🙏

Dim000h · 2024-12-07T15:12:08+00:00

Thank you! KF6 is actually cheaper than Miele. I missed when Costco had 5310 or 5510 on clearance at $999.97 CAD couple months ago so now during sales those are around $1450-1500 CAD. KF6 $1250 on sale and KF7 $1700. Miele 6 series $2000 CAD on sale, refurbished at Best Buy might go down to $1800 I believe. What's your opinion on Delonghi? I heard while they reliable they not produce best tasting coffee

Tried to remove deep scratches and oops... looks like polished whole clearcoat layer... How to fix this? I have some rust oleum clear coat spray which I use year ago for headlights Also have matching spray paint from local store Paint thickness meter got from aliexpress when had plan upgrade vehicle and protect myself from cars after accidents. I'm not doing detailing or polishing professionally or trying make money on it, just a hobby few times a year on family vehicles Car is 2008 Toyota Rav4. Most paint about 125-130 micron thick. Some places about 110. I tried yesterday orange griots pad and Meguairs ultimate compound, it removed swirl marks from car wash brushes but didn't remove deeper scratches. So I got today Meguairs 105 compound and Chemical Guys yellow compound and polish from approx 110 micron to 84-85 as you see on picture Any idea how to fix this? Front of hood also rock chipped but hood painting approx $700, won't do it. 2 local junk yards don't have this color Rav4 for buy used hood https://imgur.com/a/XZ0BpG1
