Hi from Sweden
Good evening all,
I'm new at this, coming from doing wines/ciders, and getting into distilling with a hand-me-down "Labmaster" right now – interested to see if I get the bug and start building more advanced equipment.
Cheers!

Welcome!
The labmaster is a good starter and can be run as a potstill if you just bypass the lower cooling parts.
It's flaw lies in a soldered tiny product condenser which makes stripping runs slow. But it surely can produce a fine spirit with patience!

Re: Hi from Sweden
Yeah, I've done a few stripping runs and one attempt at finer cuts of a palm date mash which turned out surprisingly nice. It's really slow though, so now I'm building a TC column on top of my beer boiler instead…
Thanks for the welcome y'all!

Re: Hi from Sweden
Welcome Jak, maybe I'm a bit slow and have missed something , but I don"t think Ive ever heard of a TC column before ?
Re: Hi from Sweden
Sorry – it's just a 2" triclamp (TC) system. Going for a VM still with the option to remove a section for stripping or potstilling, and plates or SPP for other runs.

Welcome, we get to Sweden often while visiting my wife’s cousins in Norway.

I hope you’ve been glued to the screen watching the football World Cup. Your team’s playing well.

Re: Hi from Sweden
Great to hear! Also run a 2" TC. Only pot though. Flavoured and oaked is what keeps our interest alive here.
