Novice question from a novice distiller. Pleaser help.

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

Novice question from a novice distiller. Pleaser help.

Post by Northgamtns »

Havent built my first still yet but had a friend of mine give me a 6 gal stainless pot w/ lid tonight. Ive researched the pot still method and would like to use this method. my question is, Is there a sheet of cork or gasket material I can buy to cut out to place between the actual pot and lid? Rather than having to make the water/ flour paste mix? I plan on then clamping the top to the pot just in case yall were wonderin. Opinions welcome. But I am wanting to use the pot, mason jar thumper, and coil condenser. I will also be going with the hot water heater element as a heating source, I have read on other posts that 4500w wide open is too much heat, therefore the light dimmer switch is hooked up to the element?
