What are bubble plates and how does bubble caps differ from perforated plates?
Let me show you my take on babble plates and how bubble cap plates measure up against perforated plates.
In this video I will dive a bit deeper in to the science behind bubble plates and the different mechanics behind bubble caps and perforated plates.
I will also talk about flooding of bubble plates.
I’m Distiller Greyling and I’m a legal home & hobby distiller here in South Africa. My wife and I are working our way up to own our very own Craft Distillery and would like to share our journey with you.

What about the perfirated plate you have with no downcomer? How does that work?

@distillergreyling9135 2 года назад

Hey Scott! I use the larger 4” perforated plate in a 4” glass sight-glass to act as a bottom for gin runs. The gin basket will be placed on the plate.

@NielvanderWath 2 года назад

Hi, how does flow rate compare between the 2 different plates on your still?

@distillergreyling9135 2 года назад

Hey Niel! Good question...As the two still vary in diameter and size I don't really have got a comparison to truly compare them. But can definitely look into it!

Hallo, according to my practical experience with alcohol distillery plants in Uganda, The bubble cap tray is more efficient than the sieve tray, they hold onto the liquid thus saving on weeping and steam loading...thus saving on losses..

@@limaroleonard8752 this is awesome! Thanks for the reply I appreciate it. I love the fact that with your on the ground experience it’s an easy answer. Keep it up! 👍🏻

I've noticed that continuous stills tend to use exclusively perforated plates. Perhaps continuous stills that use bubble plates, I just haven't seen them. Do you know why this is? My thought is maybe they flood? Maybe the efficiency isn't as high and worth the extra cost? Or maybe it serves a completely different purpose in a continuous still?

@distillergreyling9135 Год назад

Hey Kristian! Man you got some good question there… Cost definitely plays a role, bubble trays (BT) are more expensive. Although BT reduced weeping they have much more disadvantages. BT have high entrainment, high fouling tendency and causes a higher pressure drop at the same flow rate as a perforated plate. Thanks for the questions, I love it!!

@@distillergreyling9135 Thank you for your reply! I'm in the process of planning out a continuous still that I'm building ATM exclusively for stripping runs. I was inspired by a whiskey distiller in Tasmania Australia who built one and it's simplicity was really attractive. It used an extremely long liebig condenser that was maybe 10 meters and snaked it's way back and forward down the wall. It used the wash as the coolant, which emptied into the top of the column. By the time the coolant/wash reached the top of the column, it was very close to 60°c, and so all the alcohol vaporized by the time it reached the bottom of the column. The boiler was only 10liters or so, and so, it used very little energy to boil, and no water at all to cool. Many commercial continuous stills are very complex IMO in order to keep them compact, but if space is not a factor, which it isn't for me, I love the simplicity of this design this Tasmanian distillery built. (belgrove distillery)

@distillergreyling9135 Год назад

Hey Kristian! Always glad to help! Your plan of simplicity sounds awesome and the continuous still in Tasmania sounds amazing. I just love how with a simple idea you are able to create something out of the norm and it sounds like its going to look stunning. All the best to you, your idea sounds solid! Sweet! 👍🏻

@nothinghere1996 5 месяцев назад

the bubble plates are non linrar.uthey do not create a linear temperature gradient along the reflux column. They consume more energy.

@xHeadHunter200x Год назад

Think they'll make some water with wood smoke going through them?

@distillergreyling9135 Год назад

Hey Hunter! Sorry for asking, do you want to smoke infused? I’m a bit lost with the question.

@xHeadHunter200x Год назад

@@distillergreyling9135I was wondering the effect the caps would have say in a bbq smoker grill if they would create water from condensation

@distillergreyling9135 Год назад

Thanks Hunter! I get you now, honestly I’m not sure. If the smoke is a bit moist I presume there can be condensate. But most wood fire is dry and chances are the smoke will just travel through the bubble capes. The will be a grater restriction for the smoke and it will want to escape to the most easily route. Very interesting question and thank you for making me think a bit! Cheers!! 👍🏻

@OdiniStill Год назад

Holes seem to be too big and there's no down-commer on the perf plate, making it smear and not work correctly.

@distillergreyling9135 Год назад

Hey iStill, thanks for the comment. At the 3 min mark I do talk about the bigger perforated plate and that I actually use it in my gin basket. You definitely need to use a plate with smaller holes and a downcomer to make it really work as a rectifying/stripping tool. Keep it awesome. Cheers

Where it's available,we want to buy the perforated plate column. Can you tell me details and availability. How can I approach it to buy these product... Can u give the contact number.

@distillergreyling9135 Год назад

Hey Narasinga! Where are you lacated at? In South Africa I know Distillique (distillique.co.za/products/2-inch-4-plate-glass-column?_pos=13&_sid=195f9f736&_ss=r) & Yeah Brew (yeahbrew.co.za/product/2-inch-4-plate-glass-column/) has got 2 inch plate columns. In USA you can have a look at Mile Hi Distilling (milehidistilling.com/product/perforated-copper-plate-down-comers-6-inch-diameter-set-of-six/).
