welp ,
im going to start my first reflux still. this is all new to me. ive skimmed through the reflux threads taking in a little bit but ive been a pot still guy up to this point. I have a nice collection of AG whiskeys and "bourbons" and some "scotch" . set side so I figured lets see what else I can do here
my plan is to build a 3 or 4 plate reflux still. I really want to start making neutrals/vodka because that what I drink when im out.
the idea of single run whiskeys excites the hell out of me more than anything (no more stripping/spirit run on the pot)
now as a newbie to the column still game ive got a lot to learn but I wanted to start here with a simple build from what ive learned here. I plan on doing perf plates. for me it seems like the easiest way to go to start. some of the longer sticky flute threads I havent jumped into but im sure once I get started ill dive in.
I have about 20 inches of 3 inch copper. should be enough for a few plates, . Im going to be running a 6 gallon stock pot I think . this build will be built to adapt to a keg. so im thinking a 2 to 3 SS reducer ,3 plates , another 3 to 2 then my boka head on top . would this perf plate and LM boka work ?
any and all input is welcome. this is going to be a a huge learning curve but im excited
ill get more into the details of the build and my ideas. most of my questions will hopefully just reassuring info that's in my head , unless im completely off.
Cheers,
Rager
