How to setup a auto fill and auto drain system on still?

Post by Asos21 »

Let me just start by saying I'm not looking to start a continuous stripping still or anything like that. I have an 8g pot still with 28mm inner pipe with a 36" condensing jacket. The still is being used purely for stripping runs.

I'm only planning to run the still 3 to 4 times a year but when I do run it I would like to be able to immediately drain the still right after a run ends and immediately fill the still to start a run within 5 to 10 minutes of one ending!

Does anyone have any advice or tips on how I could setup some fittings into the still which would allow me to empty and fill the still straight away? Without opening it straight away and having ethanol vapours everywhere?
