    Just working on my sugar washes as I'm new. I have a T500 copper reflux with three 3-inch bubble plates and copper SPP. That gets me at 95% with a 20% wash. I am going to add a 1 ft section of SS and drop the stock packing in there for the next run to see if it can hit 95.6
    It was so pure the last time I did not bother charcoal filtering after.
    The water split was the best mod I have done so far. Makes it so easy to control!
    Eventually going to get an alembic pot still lid as I want to make Soju
    Thanks for producing this content! Very informative

    Thanks for the contextual info, I also have a few lids, owning a G/father & a still spirits boiler, you are spot on with your cats, kids, ceiling height reasoning, a lidl / aldi castor wheeled plant pot support also helps out with set up scenarios in the less critical stages of GF / boiler use & should be considered by anyone eyeing up either system.

    I've found the alembic dome more stable than the SS head. I have column extensions, running on the floor in my basement, so without some sort of bracing, the SS lid caused me some concern. Pair the dome with a weldless triclamp bulkhead, and you make it modularized for very easy column switch outs.

      Hi. I think the copper dome may be stronger as you say due to how much the dome has been pushed out. The steel lid only has a slight curve, so would not be as strong. I use both lids on my extended T500 column, and have never had no issues. But, it used to worry my that the standard stainless steel lid would cave in.
