Hello distillers!

Postby TSV Moonshine » Mon Dec 21, 2020 4:20 pm

My story starts with my homebrewing beer and has progressed to diving into distilling! Currently in the process of building a reflux/pot still with a keg boiler. :greetings-waveyellow:
Very keen to read and see what the community has done, what works or what to look out for! :text-thankyoublue:

Welcome TSV

If you have a reasonable amount of 2", I highly recommend researching a ccvm. It is essentially a pot still that can be converted to a reflux column by a couple of extra modular bits (spool and coil condenser) and some ss scrubbies. I've got a 1m column that I pack when I need neutral and pull them out for whiskey washes
Or if you are up for something a bit faster (and cooler), there is plenty of info on here for bubble plate columns. You will want to go for 4" though, not worth it in 2"
