think he meant isoamyl alcohol although any amount of any consequential amount is doubtful.

Id like to say it was all my own brilliance but..... Had to google it.

On that note, where on earth did you find that compound in ethanol from grain fermentation and how do you plan on removing it with a boiling point of 132.5C

Methinks you read too much

I must admit, as someone who over thinks projects all the time, I encourage you to build something simple first. It takes one to know one! I find myself doing this pretty often. With stilling more than many hobbies, it's easy to go overboard. With about $200 in metal and maybe a week of evenings building it, you could have a 4' packed column with a slant plate boka head. A great learning tool, and the column would be usable for future experimental projects.

All that being said, if you do go ahead with your build, please post pictures! I want to see this beast.

Hi guys, been away for a bit, yes, I accept im mad, got a bit ahead of myself, and after building 2 graham condensers for use with 5 litre and 20 litre copper alembic stills, I realise theres no way ill be able to manage building that monstrosity, so, the plan is, build everything in sections, so every part is replaceable, or removable, and when I want to be crazy, I can add in the bubble plates and etc, ive been playing with my T500, took all the plastic out, and made it a real still, and I'm able to get 96% out of it, surprisingly, so, the plan now is to build the most versatile still I can, for any and every use, ill build a Boka next month when work load is easier to deal with, and post pics and update you all, for now, im running my 5 Litre pot, 20 litre pot and modified T500 happily, Thanks everyone, hopefully in years to come, ill be able to impart knowledge to others as you all have for me!
