I made a multi-tube liebig, (3 x 3/8 inside a 1 1/4) but I reckon you could fit 3 x 1/4 tubes inside a 3/4 sheath. Gave the tubes a twist in the centre to create some turbulance. Works a treat! Just made a couple of copper manifold plates to tie them together. Never had a problem knocking vapour down. I have a 50 lt keg boiler with a 3 kW element, (and a controller), but on my stripping runs I run flat out and less than half a turn on the water flow valve is enough to keep the spirit liquid.
Cheers Phil
It would probably work. I had some 50 x 6 mm busbar that I used in those pics to make mine. I can send you a piece if you want? I also needed to silver solder the manifolds onto the tubes because I kept getting leaks when I soft soldered the sheath on.OzzyChef wrote:Do you think I could open up a piece of 3/4 and flatten it out for the manifolds?

500mm 2.5" with 6x 1/2" innners will be able to handle absolutely everything you could possibly throw at it. And as a bonus, 2.5" looks really well balanced hanging off of the side of a 4" bubbler :happy-partydance:
