Valve for Liebig control
Thought I would share my version of the inline valves some folks are using to adjust water flow/cooling of the water jacketed Liebig. This is at the outlet of the Liebig (nearest the still) not the inlet which is nearest to the business end where the distillate appears. Allows me to fine tune the cooling gradient as the run changes temperatures as it proceeds to the tails. This way I don't have to go to the source foucet to adjust each time. I may later decide to put a valve like this in the inlet side too. My first run, I did have to adjust at the source foucet once, so the inlet valve may also be helpful. Just experimenting, so if you think it could help you too, great.
