Was wondering if replacing marbles with copper scrubbers would be beneficial. Since I am hearing that some copper in vapor path is very good thing. Have only run one batch thru this and it came out 185 proof. Distillant was apple wine, after diluting, it wasn't bad. Am currently working a batch of sugar/water mash with turbo yeast, for use with essence. Do you see any other problems with my setup that could give me better results. Temperature control was touchy but worked OK, but since water only bisects the tower in three cross-direction places, I think that this should have been done differently in hindsite. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
