nice assembling, that thube sits in the worst place where it can be, you'll have to look for a coupling in messing, copper or SS and your still isn't placed realy discreet, isn't it? and what are you hoping to make with it? it's not realy a reflux still, and not realy a pot still ... . Hey, you are...

Yes, thats the post. I think thats a good recipe to learn with. So, like others have said, try running water first to find leaks, then do a run with cheap wash. The still looks good. There is one thing that you will need to change. The vinyl tubing that connects the column and condensor must be cha...

This is my Still... 100% home made Comments are welcome. http://adolforojas.com/still/01.jpg http://adolforojas.com/still/02.jpg http://adolforojas.com/still/03.jpg http://adolforojas.com/still/04.jpg http://adolforojas.com/still/05.jpg http://adolforojas.com/still/06.jpg http://adolforojas.com/stil...

The first mash you should run is the simple rum that theholymackeral describes in his recent posts. It is cheap and effective. Id throw away the first run of alcohol because it will contain all the residue from construction. There will be plenty more clean runs later... Keeping it clean later on is...

Taken from this post http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2721 : This is ma personal recipe for some of the best rum mash, i've ever produced. 12.5 Lbs of Molasses 5 Gal of tap water 1 Large Lemon 1 Large Orange 1 Cup of White Labs High Gravity Yeast (Super Yeast) (Recipe was cut down from...

If it is SS throughout (other than the condensor), then cleanup is pretty minimal. If you have solder flux (in the condensor, since you did not list the type), then try to clean that with a good soak in vinegar. Other than that, some hot water, scrub it a little, and you have it prelim cleaned. The...

Hi folks, I finished my new still few minutes ago. Unfortunately at this moment I don’t have my camera here but in a shortly time I will post some pictures. My question... How I can clean or disinfect the column, condenser and all internal parts of the still. I use materials that were stored much ti...

I build both pot and fractionnating stills... Quite similar as your drafts... See these old topics : http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4093 http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2540&highlight=pot+still Both work pretty well! Hey, Is a very good work. After many designs an...

That’s perfect
My condenser will be on copper, hope this help to remove these sulphates.

Thanks,

Husker, thanks for your time and this very clear explain.

Any other people have an idea to make a good pot-still?
The idea is to make a good and efficient pot-still

Thanks in advance

Good mornming stoker Thanks for your comment, but why my second still is a reflux still" ? This design is very close to "Bokakob" plans: http://homedistiller.org/image/mini_explained.jpg . He says at the rigth of the design that I will have XXX mL/hr of 95% abv in refluxed mode and XX...

Soy nuevo en esto de la destilacion. Si tienes tiempo, escribeme.


Muchas gracias.

Now, that´s clear

Thanks a lot.

I was wondering what is the best material to make a still?
I was thinking on Stainless Steel but I ask this because I see that many stills are made using cooper as primary metal.
Is cooper for anything reason necessary?

Thanks in advance

Adolfo, that last design works well, do a search for bokakob, you will turn up alot of information. I have one and I run it both ways, detuned to use as a potstill and pack the column with scrubbers for nuetral spirits. As english is your second language I thought I might help some. The " dist...

Do you think that is better my 1st design or the second one?
Who still will work better?


Thanks...

Hi Folks,
I redraw another distiller with some changes. This distiller will not use the condenser unit separated from the main column.
I was wondering if people in this forum can give some opinion about this new design.

Thanks in advance…

I forgot this...
I want to make run, Whiskey's and other home made "spirits" beverages.

Thanks for the help, this site appears to be a very nice community.
According to the readings and that Husker, I want to make a "pot still". because appears to be easier for a beginner like me.

If there any mistake, please sorry for my English, is not fine.


Thanks,

Thanks aj and stoker for the help. Aj: I will remove the thermometer and try to search good tubing for this HOT vapor or try to search another option for that. Yes, T shape is for suspending the condenser and yes, it's a really bad idea. Stoker: I’m very newbie on this "distiller world". W...

Hi Folks, My name is Adolfo Rojas, I’m from Costa Rica. I want to make a distiller as a hobby and I want to ask if any people with some experience in distiller process can check my draw of “home made distiller” This draw is based in many researches in internet by me. The only thing that I want is to...
