what ever the equipment, without cuts it will be crap....

personally I think you can make a bokakob so easily I wouldn't spend money buying a small reflux column

whatever he does he will make crap and give up on the hobby unless you can educate him on making cuts

my 2 cents

Without cuts, any spirit you make will taste horrible.

.wont be interested in taking cuts.
he just wants to make cheep piss for him self

But really if he wont listen to reason just point him at the turbo and activated carbon shelf at the local HBS. :teasing-tease: Someone has to support them, after all where are we going to get that replacement alcometer from on a Saturday afternoon after smashing our second spare :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Sounds like hes got it sorted then mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I've tried with a fair few fellas, tried explaining the cuts, cheaper and better washes, that a reflux still is no good for bourbon etc etc... after a while I gave up.. :O)

Ok so im goin to hijack my own thread

Im in the process of puttin bits n peices together to build a 4" 4 plate glass bubbler with a benny twist (unfortunatly family before hobby so the pricey bits need to be saved up for).

But i want to upgrade my lil reflux up to a 2" copper to attach to my keg boiler i know every one builds bokas but i can operate my cm and i would like to stay with that style any sugguestions and critism welcome i think it will work

Ive got the bits cut for my rc and pc already.i have a peice of 50mm id 5mm thick 90mm long glass tube i just need the length for the main column, 180 deg bend, reducer, parrot and triclover fittings

If it's single run, good abv ( not Vodka levels), suits heavy whiskys, rums take read through this post. Might give you come ideas.

I was after good vodka i already have a pot i just wanted a cheap upgrade and copper practise before i do a bubbler and wondered if you could make a cm using a shotgun condensor i will give it a go and see what happens if it doesnt work ill part it out for something else
