Yes. Not scared too much. As i said, I'll build it piece by piece.

Less stilling time and more time for family. If i was a single bloke then 4" would be fine but family can always get in the way of stilling.

Including heat up time, I had the still running for 6 hours, and after cuts, aging and diluting to 40%, i will end up with aprox. 18L of drinkable product.
buggerd if i know why anyone needs more booze than that in a weekend!!
Although, if time is of the essence, i'm sure a 6" will piss booze like a horse....
* A 6" plate with a 25mm bath depth will hold about 1.7L
* 6 plates @ 1.7L is 10.2L
* 100L boiler with 10% ABV is 10L
:music-deathmetal: haha, who needs a thumper! do it!

If I was a single bloke I'd be able to afford any still and boiler combination I liked and still have enough cash left over to have it gold plated so I never needed to clean it!! :))

I'm looking for the coupla times a year running method.
looks like you have your answer then :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Storage wont be too much of an issue. My supply of 2.5L laboratory bottles just keeps increasing.
Wait until you start running the 6", lab bottles will start looking reeeeeeal small. :laughing-rolling:
