Hi guys,
Well, I’ve been running a slightly modified super reflux still with an extended column for a bit now, and I’m just not getting the results I want.
The smearing is a bitch even with a voltage controller and it’s just, well it’s frustrating.
So I want to make a hybrid pot still.
I’ve got a old keg to use a boiler, but I’m looking for some guidelines on column height, diameter (I’m thinking 2 inch) and elements. Well actually essentially the whole build.
I’m looking at going stainless, cause I’m on a budget and it’s much more accessible for me and easier to weld up, I’ve got a few mates who are guns on the tig.
The pot still part of it should be fairly easy, but I’m wondering what approach I should take for the reflux attachment when I want to run vodkas and neutrals.
I’ve seen simple set ups with deflegs above the column that can be easily added or removed with tri clamps, with stainless or copper mesh packed inside the column when running reflux.
When I get a few ideas together from the brains trust I’ll put together a rolling summary of the specs and then get on to the development.
Looking for an easy to operate still here to get the job done without bubble plates etc.
Show me you ideas and builds guys.
Cheers
G
