Pot still, a single strip run will be 80 proof and IMHO quite undrinkable. A reflux column will be quickest for something drinkable, i.e. One and done.

Re: reflux still vs pot still wich is faster?
by undrinkable you mean it tastes bad or is it dangerous?
im planing on mixing it with limonade for the party or making a jungle juice so it doesnt have to be the best tasting alcohol because the limonade or juice will mask the flavor, just something to get us drunk
thanks for replying

Re: reflux still vs pot still wich is faster?
Do you have a still? It may be cheaper to go buy the amount you are after in cheap vodka or some such. After the investment in a still and the somewhat substandard product you are after it may be a waste of your time. Unless you want to make this a repeatable excersize, in which case it could be economical for you

Pot still with feints added back - will knock you out 50% plus if you do a 12-14% wash.justwanttogetdrunk wrote:which will be faster to distill?

100 litres of product - will take you a LOT of effort !
At the rates I quote, with a 25 ltre still, you are looking 20 - 25 full runs ! and you will have way too much flavour - That's why they do "double distil" - you have to nurse the recipe to get it to work.
Or you could buy a T500 and a load of "Turbo yeast" - and dilut ethe crud you get out of a sugar wash down to 40% - if you really don't care what it tastes like. - STill a lot of runs tho'

Re: reflux still vs pot still wich is faster?
Caution mr. justwanttogetdrunk. This has serious legal implications here as you’ll be responsible for the attendees. And the “get drunk” mentality can be dangerous especially if juveniles are attending. 100 liters of alcohol mixed into a mass consumed “party drink” is very, very irresponsible. You’ve got to rethink your idea...it is very immature.justwanttogetdrunk wrote:...i want...100 liters of 40% (80 proof) as fast as possible...

Be safe, responsible, and discrete.

Re: reflux still vs pot still wich is faster?
I don't want to help at all. But I'd love to come to the party! 100 liters? Good grief, thats over 2,200 standard pours. So is this a 200+ person 10+ drinks per person rager, or a larger but more sedate 500 person 5 drinks per affair?
Seriously though, I have been involved in planning very large multiday parties, and 100 liters is a BIG party. Bigger than you think because out of that many people, some won't drink at all, some won't drink much, some will bring something else to drink, some will already be drunk when they get there. We always end up with a lot of leftover booze.
