Right now it's just the 5 gal milk can with 1" pipe coming off original lid and to a flake stand (3/8") at a 45 degree angle. It's served me well for around 10 runs this past 6 months but its time for an upgrade.
My new plan is to ditch the original lid, fix a mixing bowl on top which will have a 2" tri-clamp ferrule welded on top. Also a thumper is added in this plan. As you can see, the plan utilizes 4 tri-clamps with 5 EZ flanges and 3 SS ferrules. The reason behind that is for facile breaking down and transporting.
Please feel free to critique constructively and offer suggestions. Right now I'm thinking the condenser will be 12-14" long, shotgun style, with 4 3/8" tubes inside that I might try to give a bit of a twist so that there will be more than 4 times the length of the outer casing of distillate path inside the condenser. The reason I want a shotgun is because it is more compact than a liebig but if you can suggest something better go right ahead!
Also it's design is such that eventually, when I have room, I can turn the milk can into the thumper for a keg boiler and keep most of the original tubing.
Additionally it will be powered by a 1500 watt element (already installed). I don't have 220v access right now for anything more powerful.
