Your still seems to be channeling a lot... Do you have a centering fitting below your sight glass?

[@stillworksandbrewing]

no i do not that is something to think about cheers!!

@@stillworksandbrewing "Channeling occurs when the downward flow of reflux becomes large enough that it doesn’t spread evenly over the packing material, but begins to flow downward as a rapid stream. This is because the layer of liquid spread over the packing material becomes too thick for wetting forces to hold it to the packing, and it begins flowing rapidly down the column. Once channeling has started, it will continue even though the boiler power or reflux rate is turned down dramatically, because a preferred path through the packing has been established. Channeling dramatically reduces the efficiency of the column and the purity of the product. About the only way to detect channeling is through the temperature of the vapor at the top of the column and the quality of the product. If you are using scrubbers, the flow level that will trigger channeling changes every time you re-pack the column, so the best advice is to operate well below the maximum possible power."

@@stillworksandbrewing my pleasure, thanks for sharing your nice videos. Yesterday, I started my first batch with 10kg molasses 8 kg sugar, 69litres wash- molasses aren't easy to work with though. My mother tongue is French and in French we have a saying "être dans la mélasse" beeing in the molasses, (meaning = having problems) I do understand why people say so...

What did you set your parameters at on your PID

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I'm working on a video about that stay tuned Cheers!!

[@brothersofbourbon9253]

I didn't realize you could see the amount of reflux going on. That's pretty cool! Also, that proofing parrot is awesome, I like how you drilled a hole in your working area to hold it steady. What is the diameter of your column and how tall is it? I'm getting real interested in trying a sambuca myself. Can't wait for an ingredients list. Still on Randy

I have a 2 inch 36 inch tall thanks for watching cheers!!
