My first still is a pot still

Post by Fuggles »

Still very much in the planning stages here. I bought some parts and learned to braze.

I'm going for a simple pot still since my main interest is whisky. It's a 15 gal keg. The 1.5” TC down low is for a 5500W element.

Looking for ideas on the condenser. I'm interested in fast stripping, hoping to go full bore at 5500W. So, liebig, shotgun, worm, other? Are any of these choices suitable for both stripping and spirit? I have home brew gear that can be adapted (HERMS water barrel with SS coil, straight pipe copper CFC) although I'm leaning towards building new.

Long time brewer, first time distiller. Any advice is very welcome.
