Yes, you have a CM still and if you haven't run one before you just need to learn how to manage it. Your reflux condenser if it has enough water flow (what are you using as a condenser) should give you a pretty nice product. It doesn't take much to alter things on that rig so very slight adjustments on the water intake, let it settle in before making additional adjustments so that you don't over compensate. Also your product condenser people have a tendency to throw more water at it than is necessary. On mine it takes very little water, feel the water coming out with mine barely open the hot out is still pretty cool.

Thanks for the quick response bushman. I wonder , Do you see a need for scrubbers in this design and should i stick with the 15x diameter of pipe rule as far as the height of the riser goes

Yes, if you want to make vodka or anything with a higher abv, not necessary if your thinking about whiskey but I never take mine out just run it a bit different depending on the product.

This is a good thread to read on the subject.
