New 3 inch Flute Build
And so it begins
Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
This will be a 4 plate Flute, all inside components removable so I can run it bare as a plain pot also. Maximum looks and function. Only a few items have arrived. Should get deliveries all this and next week. Should be fun!!
Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
The beginning of the end , it will be fun to make mate . You don't need to worry about removing internals to run as a pot, just don't use the deflag. What plates you doing?, what sort of deflag, pc?. Good luck.

Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
For the most part I'm coping NChooch. I'm using the brass EZ flanges. Going to try and make each plate area removable. Yes, extra flanges = more money. I thin all the brass and stainless tri cloves will look real nice. Deflagmenter I was thinking 5 inch shotgun. I know NC's is like 4.75. Will a quarter inch really hurt? Guess I'll find out
Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
Sounds like a.plan . Should look good with the brass. Mines modular, good for trying new plates and configurations. 1/4" won't hurt. My last deflag I did is 4" on 4" column, I like it!.

Without the dephlag to control reflux you will have a plated pot still. Better rethink.davsmth41 wrote: Deflagmenter I was thinking 5 inch shotgun.

Blah, blah, blah,........
Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
He's saying a 5" deflag, or am I missing something?.

Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
Can you not make a shotgun deflag 5" in length?
Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
I think what they are saying is you don't call a deflag a shotgun. If it is 5 inches then it is a deflag. A shotgun is around 20 inches and cools vapors for you to get liquid out of your still. A delflag is same thing only shorter and dumps liquid back in the direction it was coming from (back down your column).

Sure Dave no problem. I misread your post
BTW, I have a 3 inch flute as well. My dephlag is only 6 inches long.
Sorry for the confusion.

Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
Any help is much appreciated. I by no means know it all. I have read about others for days. I just want it to look good and function correctly
Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
I do not have a flute but want one also. I have a long list of wants and its on the top but it is last. I will probly never have one. I can say where i would order my stuff from but it would not be a good idea. If I were to get what I want I would order the Tees and the plates and bubles caps or sieve plates without problem. Make the condencers (deflag and shotgun) or have them made locally. I like stainless. Lots here would say copper. I would use copper copper scrubees inside above deflag. JMHO. You know what they say about opinions. If you want more you can ask or PM. Which ever is good for you.
Don't get to excited and do or buy. Research, research!

Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
So I'm driving by the Grizzly Insustrial tools and wife lets me stop . I spot a drill press I really need . Wife asks: is that necessary for your still? Me: oh yes, it's a must have lol pics to follow. Sure will make things easier
Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
Buy an adjustable circle cutter. It will make cutting the plates a dream. No fidling about trying to make the plates perfect with a file. 20 bucks will save countless hours of frustration.
Life is a journey you take alone. Make sure you do what you what makes you happy
Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
Where do you find those ?
Re: New 3 inch Flute Build
Lol. Found them. Thanks for the info.
