Reconfiguring my still
Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2013 2:51 pm
Alright, So I built my first one a couple weeks ago. Wasnt very pretty, I used 3/8 ID copper 20ft. I cut alot of it off and did some soldering for the first time. It was pretty ugly I must say. Then I found this place and started getting ideas from other people. I want to keep it simple still, so I went and bought some new copper. I went with 1/2 ID this time bc I was having a hard time finding 3/8 fittings. Well I only went with 10ft this time and now Im worried I may have miscalculated. Anyways here is a pic of what I have so far. Obviously it needs connected, but I think you can get the idea.
Here is my question...Do you think there is enough piping from the Pot to the Condenser for it to work properly? I mean I can go snag another 10ft If I need to. I also have the 3/8 piping that I could run in the middle but a large to small and back to large diameter doesnt seem very smart. What you guys think? Be nice, noob here
