ok its and all plastic nah just kidding ss keg 15.5 gal 24'' colum packed with copper mesh 2'' colum ts off to a 45 down to a 28'' liebag condensor.after the heads whiskey starts 145% ran two gals down to 80% whiskey came out nice and cool with just a trickel of water going thru the condenser.i'v been uesing a valved refluxed still to make rum and whiskey for nearly a year it can be done. but a pot still is so easyer.i cut the parts for the still and tater did the soldering.i think im really going to like tiis pot still thing for making whiskey. no thermometer no valve no fussing with it just taste smell and test abv.get the tourch ready tater a paroits beek is next. ill try to have pics soon.

hello dr. the jackit is 2 1/8 od the inner tube is 1 1/8 od the condensor is 28'' long this may sound like over kill but the product comes out nice and cool.makes it a lot simpler testing abv as you go. i had'nt did a stripping run to see how fast it can be ran.i would think it can be ran quite fast and still knock the vapor down.ill let you know in a week or so i'v got a batch going now to be stripped when its done i will post.
