Hi (again) all
I posted a little while ago to say hi and ask advice about building/buying a bokka type still.
I ended up buying an alcoengine, i believe its a 2 plate type reflux but have yet to take it out of the box, i'll be interested to see exactly how its built internally.
Price was $165 for a 2" reflux,(excluding boiler) probably would have cost me about the same in materials. time and effort.
I know a 2" isn't ideal and runs will take longer but the cost of moving up to even a 3" was significantly more.
At this stage im planning to try and pull some high alcohol and attempt to make some hand sanitiser, so will be looking at loading up a wash with some resilient yeast and lots of sugar.
we'll see how that works out.
