My 2" Boka
This is my first attempt at my coil. Did not turn out too bad. Could have been a little tighter spaced, but has no problem keeping up with the 1500 watt element I am using. Gotta tell you I went with putting the salt in the tube before I tried winding it. Took any fear that I had out of the equation. I put a copper scrubby in the center (test scrubby with magnet first).
Made my slant plate head and after soldering on the 2" male and female fittings, thought I should have just did an easy flange on the two pieces which would make it easier to switch between pot and reflux. Right now I am using the full column with no packing and ran off my first all bran run (after cleaning run). It was a four gallon test run, only ran through once. How much difference in tast/smoothness does it make to do when doing a single run at 3-4 drops/sec vs. a stripping then spirit run? On this one, I just did a single slow run.
Got the whole thing connected to a keg with a 1500 watt heater inside.
Got about 600ml on oak right now. I would like to say I will see how it is in a few weeks, but who am I kidding! I give it a few days as it smells better every day when I check it!AJ
