hello all, this is a wonderful resource for those of us know nothing new comers! i am interested in starting this new hobby as soon as i can and have perhaps half of the materials needed to start building. i am going to try a still with interchangable heads so that i may use it as a pot still for whisky and a fractioning still for higher %'s (im interested in making absinthe). im sure i will spend much time here combing over all of the shared knowledge by you masters. i will try to find my own answers before i bother others with questions but i have two already.
1- does anyone know where one could buy an empty keg or other suitable SS container to use as a boiler in the virginia tidewater area? i have been hitting local yard sales and nothing yet. i was thinking of buying a full keg and letting the store keep the deposit but ive read here that this is not really ethical.
2-ive been looking at pix of reflux designs and cant find any explanation for the cooling water flowing into and out of the column after it leaves the condenser. any explinations to this newbe would be greatly appreciated.
thanks all, m.
