this is my pot still, nothing great but works for me. I want to modify it slightly.
Cheers,

I guess the question, Fed, is what do you hope the still will do after modification that it is not doing for you now? Higher purity, faster distillation, better cuts? You might be just as well off to build something from scratch that will do exactly what you feel you want.

I'm guessing this is one of the BTE units from Country Brewer?

Muppet wrote:REFLUX: The condensation of vapour into liquid inside a column; the liquid of which is returned down the column to be "reboiled" into vapour once again. As the liquid travels down the column it exchanges heat with the up travelling vapour "boiling out" more volatile vapour, resulting in increasing ethanol purity as the vapour rises in the column. The purest vapour passes to the product condenser for collection as spirit.
This is directly from the glossary of terms here. Without a reflux condenser returning liquid back through the packing a potstill won't create much reflux. It is possible what you are noticing is caused by another reason, ie slowing down the vapour a bit more.
