Hey peeps I've been sitting on this pdf for about 6yrs and can't remember where it came from but what I like about it is the simple & straight forward way it discusses the difference between the pot & reflux still and it also has an excellent step by step guide to building 2 different types of stills ( this is fairly old prob 10 or 15yrs & written by an American so you need to convert lengths & volumes to metric in some cases ).
The 2 stills are 1) Internal Reflux Still & 2) Valved Reflux Still.
I'm thinking about having a go at building the Valved Reflux Still myself to start my home distillation journey on so if any of you knowledgable gents can direct me to a better simpler plan it'd be much appreciated.
Also please let me know what you think of the info provided in the pdf... remembering that I'm a newb & that I didn't write it ;-)
