Home Distiller

The other term for this football is an ONION. I have bought two of these stills.

A solar still like they use to distill sea water might work but it seems difficult to make one big enough for enough wash to feed a boka. Depending how far north you are, some people are having success by leaving their wash outside and freezing it. But your intro states you already have a pot still...

Buy a controller and an on/off switch.

One element goes on switch for course control. For fine control, use any controller for your wattage from Aliexpress.

There are few sites that will sell this in a 2" connection.

It is not that old. They are still being made and sold. It makes no difference that its not that old and is still being sold...its an out dated and ancient design. Its marketed and sold by people who prey on those who know no better than to buy one. I was commenting on the age as the OP thought it ...

Pot still, VM still, CCVM, LM, LMVM combo, you already have a CM anyway. You can buy heads for that on ebay/amazon/aliexpress etc.

You can add Gin baskets, Sight glasses, Parrots, Bubble plates etc as well.

Yours is not a hybrid still. Yours is a modular still. It can be changed to a huge number of configurations.

It is not that old. They are still being made and sold.
The manual is here.

Buy pot scrubbers. Either pure stainless steel or pure copper

The real still looks slightly different from the photo on website . Here are the photos from my still.

I buy everything from aliexpress and have been quite happy. I have bought few parts from Australian shops but now everything is out of stock. The first still is from Dibosh and will supply 2" pipe end if you ask them. They indicate that in the diagram as well. They are the cheapest for that set. I b...

>>Two reflux distillations, two carbon filterings or more? I would assume that something can be done. Two reflux distillations take a long time. Good carbon filtering has to be done very slow as well. You can maybe get a larger fermenter. In my parts they are like 10 USD for a 80 litre one. 220 Litr...

Well at least the temperature was stable. The suitability is up for debate.

I got very good results. You can keep your proofs to yourself.

His PID fluctated. Mine did not and it was all on video.

Thanks!

I ran it by using a PID. I did create two videos on it but was hounded by people here so removed both videos. Now I use my still in a VM configuration so I stopped it as a CM.

If you see PID related videos on youtube then there is one where George runs his still using a PID.

Did your part where thermometer goes in leak? Mine did on a different module but also from Distillex

I have a very similar still.

Works well.

I have changed the configuration to a VM still now. And yes, all the Australian sellers source from China and charge a huge markup. Most of them are out of stock now.

If anyone from Pakistan wants some easy to use recipes in Urdu then I can try. I do know that thread is more than 10 years old.

HTH

If it is a MYPIN model or similar then this should be the reason ‘UUUU’ Shown in Process Value Display This signifies an Input error - The possible causes are: 1. Sensor unplugged 2. Sensor wire(s) broken. 3. Temperature is out of range. 4. Incorrect Sensor Type setting. 5. Incorrect Input Offset Va...

Interesting!

Anyway read this one

I feel your pain. I have ordered certain parts to upgrade my still but they are still in transit.

I ordered 4 things from a seller and he is sending it in 3 different parcels!

The link you have given does not have an electric boiler. Anyway you can probably escalate this to Aliexpress. Aliexpress is an escrow service too.

hello Guys, Just sharing my recent experience buying my first still from china from distillex vendor. Man! I would like to say this was my worst worst experience I ever had buying any thing online!!!!!! I ordered 25 liter electricboiler reflex still with 2" column with water cooling set, heater etc...

Hi Neel,

Are you from India? Fresh copper tubes are available in India in multiple sizes.

Check this one. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7910

Distillex is a very reputed store. I have purchased a lot from them over few months. Also, they will combine shipping so you will save some money when ordering multiple items. Is your still wrapped with a towel? Distillex also sell neoprene insulator sleeves for the pipes. If it is your first time o...

People who have bought these. I’m trying to fine tune my cooling since the valves that came with mine don’t work, what thread is the female ports on the product condenser and dephlag ? I thought it was 1/8 npt but no dice, I’m assuming 1/8 BSPT Who was your seller? Ask them for advice. https://www....

I have the same still but I made some modifications to it. If it is from Dibosh then you can move swap the top 2 elbows so that the thermometer goes to the Product Condenser size. The thermometer is fitted using a sticky tape so it will come off in few hours. I fixed it to the condenser where it is ...

The way I see it the reason these columns "shut down" is not a mystery. If you run consistent heat as the boiling temperature of the liquid in the boiler rises it reaches a point where the heat input is no longer sufficient to maintain a boil, At that point you are relying on evaporation and not pu...
