It is modular, but in this case was running in reflux mode with the gin basket.
I'll read the links you included carefully, but I must be misunderstanding you concerning the reflux still temperature never changing. Because the boiling point of water is higher than alcohol, as the alcohol turns to vapor and is recondensed into product eventually enough alcohol has evaporated that water begins to boil off at a higher rate and the resulting steam is hotter than the concentrated alcohol was. It remains steady at 176°F for a LONG time before slowly climbing to 190°F and then quickly rising to 196°F. Every run I have done has been this way, and it matches the description provided in this excellent book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/194301504X/ref=yo_pop_rec_gc_1/157-6009250-3809616?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_i=194301504X&pd_rd_r=11YPE3CT9G12ZEGMRNQM&pd_rd_w=owtaE&pd_rd_wg=bZpge&psc=1&refRID=11YPE3CT9G12ZEGMRNQM
Admirable. I am new to this, but have done a lot of experimenting with gin and European-style schnapps based on 'The Artisan's Guide to Craft Distilled Spirits: Small-Scale Production of Brandies, Schnapps & Liquors' by Bettina Malle & Helge Schmickl
