Welcome back.

I was given two Liebig condensers that were used to cool milk (between the cows and the refrigerated storage).
Four to six feet long, two inch outside and one and a quarter inch inside. Stainless.
Not as efficient as they might be because of the big diameters.
So I am putting a copper tube (half inch?) down the middle and running water in the outside and the inside tubes.
Which will turn it into a Davies condenser.

Welcome back! I believe the CSST (corrugated stainless steel) Dimroth condenser maybe something little known here five years ago. Cheap, easy to fabricate and efficient. Dad300 is the stiller I think of first when CSST Dimroth comes to mind.

I've not made a batch sense then.
I got some new equipment, started using the sweet feed recipe, useing the same mash over and over just adding sugar.
Before I realized it, I had 5 years worth of fantastic shine and no room for another pint haha!
I've been using a liebeg, works ok. I'm torn between a Gatling Gun and a worm this time, something really nice that I'll enjoy watching on those long last runs.
20 gallon pit still, I can't remember how to post pix or I would.
Thanks folks, I really enjoy this site.
Later,
