This arvo I finished a cleaning run on my 2" pot still on a 50 ltr keg, charged with about 10 ltr water and 2 ltr white vinegar, with the now infamous :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: BD 747 burner shuved up it arse at full tilt , it took it from cold ( tap temp) to a 5 ft stream of steam coming out of the 1/2" outlet of the liebig in 6 minutes :o :o :o :o
I blasted the steam jet for about 20 min then started to let water into the condenser and watched the effects , just generally played with it for a while, ie: adjust water flow, stuck me finger into the out flow of the condenser and water outlet, slowed the burner back by 1/2 tryin' the get a cool output from the liebig, then blasted the steam again for 15 min etc.
Is there such a thing as too much heat ? :think: :think:
After muckin' for a while I tried to cool the output down to a reasonable rate at less than luke warm ie: water faster and burner slower ( 50 % ), got it back to 9 lph :o :o at a temp a bit hotter than I'd like to bath in
I think it's a case of :think: :think: I'll just have to make a bigger still to suit ya burner BD :o :o :o :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :dance: :dance:
Cheers
