Hi, thought I better introduce myself. Came across this forum by accident, YAY! Bought myself a cheep ebay still while I get my but into gear and make the one I want. It was supposed to be a reflux still but it doesn't even have a cooling coil in the main column. So I have wrapped some copper line around the upper part of the column to get some reflux action. Don't expect it to be wonderful but will have to do.
Something like the top section of this if the picture works. I have it connected to a 50litre urn. Should do my first run in about 3 weeks. Have put down 60 litre TPW today.
So before I have even used my setup I'm planning for the future. Bought a keg off gumtree yesterday, they are hard to come by in Tassie so I was pretty lucky. Thinking along the lines of a 4" column of some sort. I'm sure there is plenty of info on these pages.
I like the thought of distilling not that I drink that much, but like a good variety of spirits so to buy one of every thing costs a fortune. I also don't like people telling me I cant or shouldn't do some thing. That's probably why I grow my own tobacco as well. I only smoke the odd cigar and use it as a pesticide. Strange these 2 habits are taxed through the roof.
Cheers.
