Super Sankey Scotch Style Still
Posted: Sun Nov 09, 2008 6:25 pm
Say that three times fast!!!
I have enjoyed my first still but have been itching to build a new one. Just finished soldering up the final tid bits, and man she turned out nice!
I modeled it after a scotch style still although I will be using it for rum. It connects to the keg with the standard 2 inch tri-clover clamp. It has a 5 1/2 inch onion and then 3 inch pipe tapering into 3/4 inch bronze union.
I have incorperated a precondensor in the downward sloping taper. Works like a reflux condensor except it sends spirit to the condesor rather than back to the pot. It is simply a 1/4 inch copper loop that the water coming from the condensor will pass through.
I have my new condensor design in another post. http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... t=8448[b]I have added the copper sankey tri-clover adapter build on page three of this post[/b] I will do a cleaning run next weekend and see how she performs!
