Re: Second Run (We don't need to talk about the first)
I would do 20 to 25 gallon ferments. That way you could do several strips and then one spirit run. Do you have any pictures of your setup?

What kind of cover is that on your element? What size pot did you use? It’s a nice looking build. I really like the condenser.

I use a liebig or a shotgun, but I circulate water from a 55 gallon barrel or a 330 gallon tote with a small pump. I use the tote for longer runs.
