HI FROM THE COLD NORTH ATLANTIC

Post by yagnub »

Finally taking the plunge and making my first post.Have been lurking for months on the forum reading a lot and learning more. Taking notes that seem important to me(yet to be seen) I have built a 30lt keg with an 1.5 x 24 boka column powered by propane. I have done my water and vinegar clean and just finished my sacrificial run. Ran it in potstill mode (only one scrubbie) Started with bare column but wrapped it up after it seemed to fluctuate when the outside temp started dropping. I couldn't run it completely down as time kicked in but it started at 82 then up to 84 and then slowly down to 58 when I had to turn it off.
ok Im rambling enough for now I will post again in new distillers section.

Excellent!
You're ready for business.
Don't get too hung up on temperatures. A still in pot mode will run at the temperature IT decides.

Welcome!

Greetings..
Seems like you've already played around.
If you haven't already, please read Cranky's spoon feed thread (link in my signature).
+1 on what Still Life wrote. You can't control anything with temperatures in the still, so don't pay too much attention to it.
Please share a picture of your rig, it would be nice to see your setup.

Have fun and stay safe.
