What should my yield be and how long should it take to run

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

What should my yield be and how long should it take to run

Post by adanac58 »

I run a 32 quart pot still from smileys home distiller shop , i use electric for saffey reasons because my collection spout is only a foot away from my still , I use a hose to make the collection spout longer though , however it takes me literally all day and some of the night to do one run , I figure if I switch to propane flame for heating up my stainless steel still I assume it would make the run quicker , how can I run a flame heat source without modifiying mg still , maybe just get a longer collection spout and use one of them turkey fryer defile with slight modifications to hold the still in place ? Thanks all , and if I run fire instead of a 1000 watt iron coated hotplate hotplate I can distill in the winter to correct ? Since it would bring the whole still up to heat instead of just slowl from the bottom like the electric ( my hotplate tales 2 hours minimum before it even starts boiling , and that's with the still not even full to the max , when it is full to the max it takes about 3-4 hours to even bring it up to heat , never mind dripping out even the foreshots
brewhaus standard 5 gallon stainless steel pot still.
