Hi everyone, long time reading first time poster. I have a question to ask regarding distillation theory and reflux/smearing. Specifically the difference in spirit quality while running a still at a set output speed off the parrot, using two different heat/power settings and their corresponding cooling water settings. i.e. A low heat and low cooling water flow setting, then a higher heat and higher cooling water flow setting. For this example we're using a 4" hybrid column with 4 bubble plates, dephlegmator and product condenser, with the boiler charged with a rum wash at 10% abv, aiming to do a single one and done run to create the rum new make spirit. For both scenarios aiming to run the still at a set output of 2.0 L/hr off the parrot. Once out of the fores and into the hearts, the controls are set on the still to provide a low boiler heat/power input and its corresponding cooling water flow to the dephleg to control the output speed off the parrot to 2.0 L/hr. If the power/heat into the boiler was then set higher (lets say 1.5 x higher) with the corresponding cooling water flow to the dephleg to ensure output speed at the parrot is maintained at 2.0 L/hr. Would this increase result in a cleaner more neutral spirit? As there is more turn over of liquid and vapour within the column, essentially higher flow rate of vapour, more interaction between vapour and liquid, more reflux occuring, better separation of more volatile compounds. Or would this result in a dirtier or more smeared spirit as the extra energy in the column results in pushing a portion of the heavier compounds up earlier than they naturally would. e.g earlier arrival of tails. Or is it a combination of both, an increase in power/heat initially results in providing a cleaner more neutral flavoured spirit up to a certain point where it reaches a tipping point if too much power/heat is applied even with corresponding cooling, then it would then start to cause smearing? Keen to hear the thoughts from the more experienced on here.
