1" Worm Coil problem ????

Post by corny »

O.k. Guy's i know anythings possible BUT .....

If my 1" worm coil has a "sag" in it, would it smear the whole run ????? worse than normal???
The worm was "Pulsating a little" on the discharge. leading me to think it was backing up , after the run I took the airhose and blew air threw the worm, about a 1/2 cup of distillate came out.

Running a Keg Potstill on propane w/ copper all the way.

I did a Sugar run today, (first time) & it was junk all the way ( I know it was gonna be thrown out anyway But...)
I did two cleaning runs yesterday & I was trying to learn about the cuts ....

Had alot of acetone smell , then turned into almost a solvent w/ a definate whang taste like colongne & mean streak BITE/BURN.......the distillate would burn blue everytime I tried it. It never even got close to shine !!
I kept the burner pretty low took over an hour before anything was coming out of the worm.

How much distillate would a 5 gallon wash make ( APPROX,) I stopped at 4 litres.

There sho is alot of work to Shinnin' :wink: BUt it's sho interesting !!
Thanks guy's
