Re: just a quick hello
Greetings, powellkop...
For vodka, or neutral spirits, you probably want either a LM or VM reflux column... They will provide you with clean neutral spirits in a single run and are easier to operate than other reflux designs... You can't go wrong with a Bokakob dual slant plate reflux column if you're looking for simple and cheap...
Good luck...

Re: just a quick hello
Welcome to the forum. It's always good to have more limeys on the forum.
My first piece of advice is build your own still or, find a friend, or retired pipe fitter that likes to drink that will help you build one.
Umm hears something you can help me with, is limey considered a racial term? If so should I stop using it or is it kinda like redneck? My wife sure does get mad when I call her that.
