Aussie Pot stiller going reflux new to forum

Post by AWOL »

Hi All,
great site! I have been running a pot still for a couple of years, started with the 5 litre, then moved up to the 25 litre. Basic nuetrals but looking to play a bit further.

Have a couple of kegs that I can take the spears out (50 litre) that I want to use for reflux.

looking at 2 options that simply clamp on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Option 1) keggomax stainless steel 700mm high reflux cost around $350 au
Option 2) puredistilling 400mm high copper unit that is all preset to only run at 92% with no fiddling required.. cost around $380 au

leaning towards the copper.....

thanks,

Option 3) Make your own for less expense and greater appreciation...

Option 4) Commision someone who can build you a decent still to do just that. Prolly a similar expense for a much better product.

would love to build but have the technical skills of an 8 year old! Would happily commission out but who does this work? Happy to spend around 3-4 hundres $au.

Anyone know someone who has used the puredistilling kit? looks nice...
