Hello
This is my first post I think so hello to everyone. So much great information here. I have a simple still with a keg as a boiler and a 2" copper tube going up about 80cm then off to a leidbig condenser. Works pretty good but the condenser isnt big enough so as the temp rises it has trouble knocking it down so im gonna build a whole new still. I am still going to follow this simple design though and was wondering about the difference that occurs if you change the height of the column. I am assuming it would let more through but I could be way off.
If it does though (I use this still mostly for whisky) would having a shorter column make heavier tasting whisky. Also, would making the diameter of the column wider do a similar thing. I was thinking of going to 63 mm but mainly cause it looks good! If there are some benefits to weigh up also then all the better.
Cheers
