Hello all. I have been cooking for about 5 years off and on, but I am really getting interested. I have made mostly neutral sprits but wanting to experiment more with grains. I constructed an electric 15.5 gal keg and I use a 1.5" copper reflux column with copper structured packing. Will try to upload a pic of column. I enjoy reading the forum, and look forward to getting to know some of you.

Welcome Shady,
Thats a unique design, I assume it works well by the patina on it ... :wink:
What sorta proof does it produce on the first pass?

Thanks. It will produce 93% the first run consistently, as long as it is slow and steady. (about 3 drips per second)
