I've just started building an 8 gallon pot still will have pot thumper and worm barrel. Plan on making 5 gallon mash runs and double running it because it will be small. What do y'all think Im looking for some input here

Yeah that's fine...you have have almost 40% of headspace in your boiler so that's good. A stripping run then a spirit run is common practice.

You got skills man. I saw your last build you sold and what ever you build will turn out great. I see lots of thought going into what you do in the other build and im sure same thing will prevail here.

Give Bigmanley2 a break, He's located at the equator.
All jokes aside, I also run a pot and thumper. Please keep us posted on your build.

I think you need some TurfBuilder.
Boiler looks great, though!

The still is prettier than your car..
Serious...good job with that stainless,as on your last build.
Looking forward to see the thumper.
Are you taking the hard way and make your worm SS or is this where the copper comes in?
