remove bubbler plates

[jrfalcon]

Question? Should I remove the bubbler plates from the column when distilling gin? Thanks

you do not have to remove them. good can can be made with or with out bubble plates.

With that said the oils from your botanicals will contaminate every last corner and spot of your still. Contamination of gin oils will appear in other spirits distilled in the same still.

 if you intend to distill anything else than gin with the same still you will want to remove any internals that can not be easily cleaned.

We can switch back and forth, although we have removable plates, and after a gin run, will clean and citric etch them in a warm bath.
