Essencia express column and 50l boiler

Post by Stillernz »

Hi there, I own an essencia express still which I've refined it to producing 5l of 88% - 94 % which is amazing. I am wondering if anyone has tried using a bigger boiler on one if these stills? I am thinking of a of like a 60l boiler but wondering if it would work okay with my standard essencia express still column. Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.

The still head should perform the same on any size boiler. You would have to provide more heat and the runs would take proportionally longer.

Regardless of boiler size, you are still limited by the maximum efficiency of the still heads optimal output rate...
