First timer on here, Im based in Ireland and have been into building whatever i can from recycled material and brewing beers etc
So i decided to combine the both to a certain degree and after loads of research here I built a still, it still has loads of room for improvement, but as i said i like to recycle, so im using what i can get for next to nothing

The belly is a 50ltr Keg that i was given by a local pub, i know the owner well

then the stack is made from stainless steel that i got from the local scrap yard, in total it cost about 20euro.
criticism is welcome as im only starting out but by no means afraid.
The top hose is the inlet for the water, it flows down on the outside of the vapor pipe, reaches the bottom of its chamber and flows back up in an outer chamber coming out the lower hose.. (ill draw it up in photoshop and show)
its roughly 7 foot in height, theres no packing inside and i havent an element for it yet, i was thinking of going with gas as my welding isnt the best to put a element inside the belly.




Im also looking for a few different poitin/poteen recipes if anyone can point me in the right direction?
Cheers.
