How hot is too hot?
What temperature range should I keep my Still Spirits super reflux still at to avoid getting bad alcohols?

He mentions a couple of ideas and cites some good references for the unit and includes ideas to modify it to perform better.

Read.Search.Listen.Ask for feedback, you WILL get it. Plastic is always "questionable". Dont hurry. Be Careful. Dont Sell,Tell, or Yell. If you wouldnt serve it to your friends, then it isnt worth keeping.

If you have to ask this question, it's obvious a lot of reading is required.

Re: How hot is too hot?
Seriously though....Its easy to make fun, but there is a crap load of experience here and the only way you can get to it is to read. I promise you, it will be worth it. There are some great characters here and they will help you understand the little nuances of your still. In time, you will want to build your own...THAT'S when the fun begins!
Your first still is like your first car. You may want to add some things or wish it did things differently, but when you get to your second one...Well, you know what you want.
It's all part of the process...enjoy!

Did you get this document with your still...???SMOKEU wrote:What temperature range should I keep my Still Spirits super reflux still at to avoid getting bad alcohols?
Don't do a run until you are well aware of what you are doing... Reflux still theory doesn't vary much between types... CM, LM, and VM, all have similar behavior within each type...
Re: How hot is too hot?
I'll keep it under 92°C then.
