Home Distiller

Hey all, did another pot still, one for stripping. Have tried it once and output was only about 7L an hr, I think mainly due to my reg freezing up, will try again this weekend and have some water on hand to defrost the reg if need be . It's 400x 2.5" outer, 600 x 2" middle and 600 x 1.1/4 " inner.

Im no expert but it looks nice to me. The formed end almost looks like you had a die to from the corner.

I guess I dont know why your product tube exits the liebig perpendicular to the main tube. Wont you end up with a big puddle in the end? Not a biggie I guess for stripping runs.

thanks mate, the formed end is just done with a hammer and a large steel rob up the centre of the pipe to get it flat. The product comes out between the inner tube and out tube. See pic.

Did a proper strip using tpw today and got 15.8 L/h .

impressive result!
what do you use for heating?

Thanks mate. I've got a 3 ring burner with a 600 Kpa reg.

Very high output for that rig! Be careful to not overheat and have bad cuts.

Was a strip run mate, no cuts.

I see now. Drive it slower for the alcohol run.

Yep, just did a nice rum spirit run
