CROW-EATER'S valved reflux still

[CROW-EATER]

It has been sitting in the shed for a few years now, but I finally got my a$$ into gear and fired it up on water last night.

here's some pictures of the built still

I've used some cotton sash cord rope to seal the lid to the boiler, it fits in snug between the two stainless lips.

I might wind up another coil to fit inside this one, I'll run a few more tests on water once I've got my heating element controller set up and see if I really need to improve its cooling capacity.

pretty bare bones basic thermometer but it seals just fine and dose the job nicely

I couldn't have done it without this forum and the parent site ... Cheers
