Fourlix Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Quick question. For rum or whiskey, would a pot still with just two bubble plates need a dephlagmeter? And, is there a nickname for a dephlagmeter that is easier to say? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Nutt Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 A dephlegmator is also known as a "cold finger." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowe8 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It is required if you want to utilize the capability of your trays/plates. Without the dephlegmator, you can still get some reflux in your column (via radiated heat) and build liquid in your trays but they won't perform any real proof uplift or reflux without the dephlegmator returning cool condensate back to the pates. Your two plate column will act largely like a pot still with a long neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebstauffer Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 >> Your two plate column will act largely like a pot still with a long neck. What he said. A "pot still with just two bubble plates" is a bit of an oxymoron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
