Boka dual slant plate column and 1st spirit run

Post by Pooyan »

Hi guys,

Have done a long reading here before i knew what i wanted (and hopefully being able) to build.
Major goal: trying to make a perfectly drinkable Vodka whilst learning and enjoying the process of making it.
The Bokakob took my special interest because of the good neutral it can deliver and the simplicity of the design.
So off building one!

I started with the condenser coil for the Boka head with help of Hookline's great doc. http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 9#p6827432

The innercoil:

The final double coil condenser:

Knowing the lenght of the condenser, the Boka head was next, i used 54mm (2") copper pipe with a length of 36,5 cm (+/- 14,5")
