Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?

Got one of those myself...give it a good wash, fill it with blackcurrants and walllaah!...got to be quick cos they will start fermenting if left too long, the plastic heats up with the volume of fruit in it...I use mine too collect the fruit i'm making wine out of.

Re: Mesh packing

Just the reflux for packing as far as I am aware, it aids the reflux process. My pot still works just fine by boiling your product which creates the vapour which then travels thru the lyne arm, thru the thumper (should you have one) then thru your condenser.... be it a worm, shotgun or similar.

Re: Traditional copper pot style stills

I took the plunge and built myself an 18 gallon copper still with 2inch shotgun condenser coming off a copper thumper.
