Right folks
Have built a 2" boka, running on a 25l boiler while I start the process of a bubbler
Just got my hands on a keg to make the boiler
Is it worth making a pot head for the boiler to do 40l strip runs to then feed into the boka to make shit loads of vodka and experiment with

Double yes and a big :text-+1:
I strip 50 litres of TPW through my pot still then run it through my reflux still with 25 litre boiler and I get approx 2.4-2.8 litres of hearts.

Plumby, how long does it take you roughly to run the stripped tpw in the 25l boiler
What sort of yield do you get from stripping 40l, and do you put it all in the the little boiler or do you water it down quite a lot and get a few runs from it

I run my pot still straight into my 25 litre boiler, discarding 4shots only. I then add feints of previous spirit run if I have any, check abv and add enough hot tap water to get it below 40% abv, put lid on and turn on water and power. After about 45 minutes I start taking 4shots again and about 4-41/2 hours later I turn everything off, make my cuts the next day.
