Hi all

or are condenser too little for that still?Or is it better to forget that and do worm and connect that on large kettle?I know that it's cheaper to build with own hands but right now it's impossible.

Have a nice weekend all :D

Welcome to the forum.
I'm a bit distrustful of most of the eBay stuff. Not at all familiar with the still in the link though. At the least, make sure none of those plastic parts and pieces are used during distillation, and that the boiler seal isn't something similar. You'll find a ton of really good advice in the forums regarding safety and synthetics, and I suggest you spend some significant time reading through them before firing up an unknown still. In particular, after reading through all the new distiller links, follow this thread completely, re-reading all the parts that don't make sense on the first pass. It's golden: http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 15&t=52975

Best of luck.
