My New Rig
Last night i finished my new column, its very similar to the design i've used for years but i made the column 4 ft long ( my old one was 3 feet tall) and i made my condenser come off at a angle, and i made it longer too. ill have to post a picture of my old one (still works good just wanted to make a better one). the ext tube for the water screws on and off so i don't snap the pipe off when i have it set aside while I'm not using it. Like my other oner it is a 1" diameter column one day ill shell out the big bucks and make me a nice one out of 2". i plan on cleaning it out and doing a stripping run with it today

Re: My New Rig
Let's see if I can help you out there, DUDA..
Here is a free online photo editor: https://pixlr.com/web" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow
Just click on "Launch the web app" in the middle of the side.
The rest explains pretty much itself.
I've used it a lot to resize pictures to this forum.

Re: My New Rig
From what I see you really don't gain anything with such a tall column on a pot still, unless you need the extra height to make your condenser fit your setup.

A tall riser, will just result in some passive reflux during the start-up phase.
It will do nothing for you other than use unnecessary energy.
If your reasoning for the tall riser is the angle of the Liebig, there are better ways to accomplish the same.
Should you choose not to modify it, consider insulating it...it'll spare a lot of energy.
