In the process of building my still column, waiting on some 3” SS ferrules I ordered to make the column modular so it will be more flexible and fun. I’m putting in a four set of bubble plates, they most likely aren’t needed but boy, are they cool to watch
. i will be putting a dephlegmator in the top to get best stuff I can. Thinking of stuffing lower copper section with some ceramic beads a roll of copper scrubber pad. I have the PID electric controller with a 5500 watt element. The boiler is a stainless milk can. I thinking I will need to insulate the boiler. My brew and distilling shed is not heated, and it do get cold up at this altitude in the late fall and Early spring. Not even counting the winter. I just getting over a complete knee replacement on the left knee, so moving kind of slow right now, but like to make my first run this fall. I’m always willing to take criticism and also suggestions and make improvements in the design. I’m a retired engineer, and have a hobby machine shop and all types of welders, metal working machines and benders. Thanks for looking and recommendations are always appreciated.
