Home Distiller

I have the 5 gal Vevor and I wanted to make an 8 gal pot still so I can hold a full 5 gal charge. I did all this research looking for the perfect 8 gal ss stock pot and lid, pricing out everything I need. My plan was to set it up the same as my Vervo because that's what I know and I'm use to. I was going to make a bigger condenser etc.

By the time I was done planning, it was too tall to fit under my stove hood. then I started thinking hot plate, so I did the resaerch for hot plates. In doing that, I realized an internal element would be better. I'm looking at the 110 v heater element with 2000w controller.

In looking into the heating elements and controllers I found the Mile High 2" SS pot still with 8 gal kettle. My husband saw me drooling...I mean looking at it and I think he's gonna get it for me for Christmas. (He got me the Vevor last year, but knew nothing about stills or if I'd even like it).

Anyway, looks like I have a lot of reading to do. I don't even know where to begin...It has this goose neck thing on the top and a lyne arm I think for a condenser. It talks about copper mesh...it's all Greek to me


Any advice or direction would be appreciated.
