Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

Best Still to build

Post by Chester Copperpot »

I wish I had found this site 1st before I read extensively on this subject, now I am just confused. I downloaded the plans for the Reflux Still using the milk container as a boiler. I have secured the following: 10 gal. stainless milk container, 3ft of 2" copper pipe, 2ft. of 1 1/2' copper pipe, 6ft of 1/2' copper pipe. My desire is to make rums & whiskeys primarily not neutrals. Can anyone help guide me, using the materials I already have to make a still suited for this purpose? I don't have deep pockets, but can put a little more money towards fitting ect. I don't have a machine shop at my disposal to do some of the more intricate designs I have seen posted. Also, I was planning to use some form of jacketed condenser because of the ease of fabrication, but have noticed most recent favorable posts by experienced distillers showing the VM design with a coil condenser. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
