Tiny tower

Post by Northsouth »

Hi all,

Just started this new hobby when gifted a tiny pot distiller of the inexpensive kind, and have now (thanks to this forum, mainly) realized that I will need a column to make the stuff I was talking about making in the first place (Vodka). So here is my idea.

The tiny 10l pot has a 3/4" outlet pipe with a tri-clamp 2" OD flange. That would allow me to put together a little assembly of say 600 mm flanged pipe 1-1.5", a T-section, an adjustable reflux condenser made of flexible SS gas piping (read DAD300s approach) inserted at the open top, a condenser of some sort and copper- and/or ss packing mesh.

But here is the safety question:

The tiny opening 3/4 off the pot, would that be a problem? I am worried about pressure building up (or puking) when there is forced reflux water running downwards?

(Asking because I prefer to remove my hair at the barber, and not spontaneously..)
