I was packing my still away for the summer, wondering what to do with it. I found an old gun case that was not being used. Kinda makes a good portable still column carrying case. Also great for hiding it away for awhile.

Bought a second smaller 20L boiler that has a 2" triclamp fitting on the lid and side so I can use the condenser from my 50L keg boiler and the same heating element. Works great for smaller batches such as my mixed rum spirit run I'm doing this evening 👍

Started with a t500 and added a 24” column extension. Upgraded to a mile hi 3” torpedo with 4 bubble plates.

Here is what I'm starting with. I've got to build a worm for it but I guess it will do to learn on. It was gifted to me.

I upgraded my rig from a cheap chinese still to an Anvil Foundry 10.5 gal brewpot with an alembic dome pot still. That chinese still was a disaster waiting to happen.

First time running on the electric element, and not on the kitchen stove. Wish me luck.

Last run for the Vevor before yet another round of modifications. And first run in my new ‘stilling space, set up for a comfy day making apple brandy.

Just got this 8 gal Mile High for Christmas!!! Just did a water run to check everything and all went well. Will be doing the vinegar run tomorrow and maybe the spirit run. I don't know weather to run out and buy cheap vodka or use all my feints from last seasons run... :think:

Will do vinegar run as soon as I move this away from the wall and find a proper support for the pc. I’ve never done this. Anything look wrong here? Thx

Here is my Reflux setup and it has lots to fix, but I’m trying to think through the options given what I have. PC too high, hose connections still leak. RC doesn’t fully knock down and it needs a mechanism to smoothly raise and lower. What else is wrong, surely other things too.

It's been awhile so figured I post a recent picture...

50l to 30l keg that has an element so it can function as thumper or separate smaller boiler
