just thinking of a cheaper option for myself but could the gin basket double as a scoria packed section

I guess so, the basket is only 75mm long though but if made longer the retainer would be perfect to hold lava rock :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I was thinking this should go on top of the reflux condenser so only the vapour being taken off the still is being infused with botanicals ;-)

Yeah that's why I think on top of the reflux is the way to go, with the packed section under the condenser.

Then only the vapour being taken from the still is infused & not refluxed removing flavour :D

No not the way I'm building the new rig :D

Sorry for the confusion mate, the rig in this thread has been sold, the gin basket is going on one the same but with a clamp on the top of the defuggerator :handgestures-thumbupleft:
