I choose this as I needed a smaller still it should give me the option of reflux or pot still mode and I couldnt afford a bubbler :crying-blue:
delivery was fast but austrilia or NZ post had used it as a footy ball so theres a few bent bits to straighten out later.
wont be putting any molasses washes through this baby.

edit- just done a cleaning run using water and the feints jar :D
edit 2- just pulled column apart as far as i could am pretty sure this is just a BOK with removable packing? :think:
Tossed instructions in rubbish bin if i want to do maths i would have stayed in school..

I havent been on for a few weeks,well,not as much as usual :laughing-rolling: Work has been out of control :angry-banghead: Nice still Kiwi,looks like a boka to me,but I've never owned one,and there ain't nothing wrong with jamming a molasses wash through it :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I was chatting to a certain gentleman the other night,and decided to attempt another build :D :D I'm not gunna spill the beans just yet,it's only half finished,but I will say,it's gunna be a "one of a kind" :o :o So watch this space :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

finally got my finger out & got some pics off my phone.

here is my 2" pot on top of an old laundry copper. it has 2 x 2200W elements in it with 1 switchable. flour paste & bricks keep the lid on :))

The condenser is crimped 3/4" inside 1.5" - product comes out cool baby :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Looks cool.Seems you have Modded it from the original design. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
The second lot of pics are easier to see :D

Can you show us another of the lower half of the head.Can't work out where your take off is and if you did the refux tube back into the column .

Also is that coily bit running through the column a CM option ?

How did you do your connection to the SS boiler ?

You got some interesting stuff there

[hillzabilly]

left the reflux to overflow back down column saved a needle valve.and it meens the dist fills the lower section of the condencer giving a cool output,thats why i added the extra condencer section (3 inch ).the coily bits allow me to use a 2000watt element running flat out all the way thru the run,i adjust the water flow thru it and am able to maintain 78cel from start to finish .silver soldered a normal sink connection ,the nut is on the column side ,flange mounted from under the lid . I have further modded this still with the reflux system .pics to follow soon.thanks for the feedback.

Where did you get the boiler? I have exactly the same one and am looking to buy another lid... (so I can get a pot still).
