Help for a noob?
Posted: Fri Aug 18, 2017 3:03 pm
Hi everyone,
I'm no stranger to brewing, but spirits is completely new to me - specifically distillation and flavors etc.
A friend recently gave me their still. Other than being able to assume that it's a reflux still (I can see the column is packed with steel wool).
Would anyone by chance be able to identify the still or shed some light on what the attachments and order of is likely to be? I need to get tube to be able to plumb up the thing, I'm just not sure where it would all go.
Do I need to check the wool in the column or would it be good to go?
Here's a link to the still: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-03_VxFFOy_Z0g0VlhZU2NQRUE
I've only got the still(I have brewing equipment to make a wash), but I'm not sure if I'll need to get anything else like a filter for example. Any advice?
Any help appreciated, cheers.
