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...

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.
