Wizzed up a Liebig today! Building a 2 inch pot still this week. Liebig is 3/4 over 1/2 inch and a full 1300 long! Should be the ducks nuts! Going on a 50 ltr keg. Shes all soft soldered together (lead free) and no leaks. Awesome.
That sure is some nice tidy work. We are really seeing some art coming through in recent builds. It's nice to see a bit of form being thrown in with function. If only I had an artistic bone in my body.
Cheers fellas, smashed out a bit more today between tasks. Just need to sort out the height and find a couple tri clovers to hook her to the keg, bit of a clean up and BAM! Done like a dinner!
equipment: 4" perf. plate bubbler,2 1/2" pot with a triple wall liebig, Small 8L pot for experiments & Gin, 6Kw 80ltr electric boiler , P.I.D/PWM controller 1/2 share with SBB in a 3" boka,
Had a win on the weekend with how to heat my boiler up. Long term am going to go electric but short term I'm going to have to use my gas burner and while looking for something to sit the keg on to put the gas burner under my eyes glanced toward my trusty ol homemade potbelly!
Hmmmm? That's looks big enough to eat a keg.
Success! With the top on it fits perfect and the gas burner slides in underneath turning it into a keg oven!
What's the deal with the bubble balls I been seeing on pot stills with the bubble plates? What advantage do they give? Do they need a reflux condenser? Are they worth the effort on a 2" pot? I'm after a quality product not quantity.
equipment: 50 litre pot still 315 Litre boiler and 4 inch stripper 2 inch VM on 50l Keg (now retired) 4 inch VM (aka the BIG PRICK) on 315litre boiler Soon to come 6 inch Mac bubblier on 205 litre boiler 6 inch stripper on 300 litre boiler
How fast should this thing run for stripping? Just doing the alcohol cleaning run with 8 ltr of goon from the first drips to now (25 mins later) its at 450ml so an easy 850 - 900 ml an hour. Is that too fast?
Coil's nice. Don't be surprised if it starts on a spirit run pulling mid 90's abv and hangs for a good while.That's when I usually reduce flow to coil using the ball valve and push flow rate up targeting 80 abv mark and it will belt out.
