3" SS VM

[Chasin' Tales]

Here's my VM still detailed originally in this post: http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 17&t=15690

I finished this build quite a while back. I've only ran one batch of sugar wash through her. So far the results have been right on with my expectations. No problem hitting azeotrope with an output of 1.5-2L/hr. I'm sure with some tweaking I can push the output up some more. Since the first run I have insulated the boiler and column sections w/ spray foam insulation. I insulated part of the boiler with the spray foam between runs. I was surprised how effective the spray foam was. I have another sugar wash fermenting away. Can't wait to try it having the column insulated with the spray foam.

Sorry for the poor picture quality.

why did you cut your keg like that. because of head room I assume?

Yes, I wanted to have as much height as possible for the column. I put a clean-out opening in the side for grins. There are two heating elements, one 120v & one 220v.

Pretty cool.
