My Pot Still
Since I finally joined, thought I should post a pic of my first pot still (ok, maybe not my FIRST. That one was a 1.5 gallon aluminum POS. First one I'm proud of I guess I should say). This one is 7.5 gallons with a worm condenser.

Looks good GT, what were you cookin there? .
I take it you're running a trickle of new water in the bottom of the worm bucket and the warm stuff runs out the top hose?
Have fun, and still safe.

Re: My Pot Still
Nice straight forward set up. Keeping your collection vessel way away from those flames gets a thumbs up from me.
Re: My Pot Still
Yep, and some pvc and great stuff to stabilize the coil. This site was a ton of help during the build. And if I remember right, I was running UJSSM in that pic. Trying to think of some way I can put a pre-condenser in that column and pack it with scrubber pads to adapt it for reflux stillin, but I think I'm going to have to gain a better understanding of reflux stills before I do that. Kind of a high column for just a dedicated pot still...

Re: My Pot Still
Wow what a beauty! What are you using for using for a boiler && where did you get it? Thanks 

Re: My Pot Still
how'd you build that pot? This is pretty much exactly what's in my minds eye, but I can't think of a way to secure that top to the big pot.
