hi this is my antique copper tea urn that I have just aquired. I was going to turn it into a pot still, I have some 28mm tube which I was going to fix a 22mm bend at a 45degree angle sloping down to a jacketed condenser. I am going to run a pale malt mash through it early next week, I also have plans to run cider thru it to make calvados (a friend of mine in brittany france does this on a large scale) the dimensions of the pot are 18" tall by15" wide it holds appprox 10.5 gallons and as you can see it is a beautiful thing.
Any comments/constuctive criticism would be appreciated, cant wait to get started!
I have done a few runs in a pressure cooker pot still that I ran some elderflower wine thru it that was really smooth. I was taking it off at 80%, I made the wine last year, is this why it is smooth?
Looking forward to chatting to y'all as I love this shit, Iggy (in the UK).
