Pot still with a boost

Post by straight_shot »

Ok, I've searched, so if its already here....my apologies.
I have a copper pot still with a thumper and it puts out a single run 120-140 proof.
Looking to boost it to 180, and I know I could build a flute or reflux column.
But what I'm wondering is, could a guy throw in a knife valve at the end of the Lyne arm, with a return line to the pot and get additional reflux enough to increase the percentage?
Obviously you wouldnt want to run it shut, but would this work?
If not, i'd be happy to hear why not.
Just because you can act like a douche bag, doesn't mean you should!
