My first liebig build
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2023 2:33 pm
I'm about 2 build my first liebig condensor for my son's pot still.
I was thinking 36 inches long but am wondering about diameter of each pipe (and obviously I can go longer if need be). I have been collecting all sizes for a while now. I have everything from 3/8 to 1-1/2 diameter.lengths are all 10 feet long. Can you go too big?
It will sit atop a keg not sure the size of keg yet but am thinking a 13 Gallon approximate.
But in the future we may expand to electric elements to get more power for strip runs.
So say I was using a couple 1500 watt or a 3500 watt. Can the liebig be too big?
My thought was potentially a 1.5 diameter with a 3/4 or 1/2 condensor inside. I'm sure there is a point of going too far. This will be only for whiskey,rum and Brandy.
Strip runs and spirit runs only. Another concern is during the spirit run would a too big of a condensor mess things up. Water flow will not be an issue as it's free and very cold.
Even a point in the right direction.
