AD searchhi guys, thanks again for all the advice I've been given and read. It really has enlightened me in the world of distilling.
I have quickly got sick of making neutral and adding cordials. I recently picked up a pure distilling pot still head dirt cheap ,that fits on my t500 boiler. My problem is while ok for stripping, I would like to control the voltage to slow the flow. Does any one know of any controller, that you could plug straight into the power cord of the t500 boiler. I can't find any thing off the shelf. Thanks for you time 8-)

You could build one
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4000W-High-P ... 2a320b37a7
( this unit will control a 2400 or 3600w element for future expansion however 2000w version approx.$5)
This unit easy to wire ,just add a box, power cord in, and power socket out
optional volt meter
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_odkw ... c&_sacat=0
or digital volts / amp meter
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AC-LCD-Digit ... 51bc7ae424
there are many was to build a controller, eg phase angle controllers, PWM etc I thought that this was one of the easiest

This one is not for off the shelf and needs some wiring and SSR but looks impressive.

The bits off eBay you suggested. I'll get a local electrician to put it together, as I'm hopeless with electricity. Cheers
