Aliexpress / homemade still mix

[Shipwreckedspirits]

Hey all.

I’m getting into this hobby with the dream of hopefully one day opening a small scale hobby distillery. I’m lucky enough to have a good mate who is a pretty handy boilermaker who has thrown together some bits for me.... the rest I’ve got on the way from Aliexpress.

Ive got a basic chem knowledge and have been reading about the process for a few years.... just no hands on experience yet.

Anyway, here’s some early progress pics. I’ll keep updating here as bits arrive.

Basics are

50L keg. 4in tri clamp, sight glass, drain, tri clamp for 2 elements.
2 x 3000w elements with individual scrs to control voltage on the way
4 plate bubble column from aliexpress
Onion and 4in > 2in column 50cm high
Aliexpress deflag
3in 560mm Shotgun condenser with stand and parrot

My main interest is whisky, but want to dabble in rum and neutral
