Hi,

I don't have the space to keep bigger still

&

Australian laws don't allow to keep a still larger than 5L without a permit.

I use an Airstil for now and am thinking of getting a used 5L Super Reflux Still.

Some people have modified this by packing the condensor with Copper Mesh. This is fairly easy for me to do.

Is this a good upgrade if all I want is Vodka?

As soon as you distill alcohol 5l limit is irrelevant anyway. 2" boka on a 25l t500 boiler is what you want...will supply you and one or 2 friends..

Australian law also prohibits distillation of alcohol without an appropriate license regardless of the still size.

I understand you may have space limitations but something like a 2" boka on a 25 litre boiler will serve you way better than one of those small 5 litre jobs and doesn't take up that much more room. I'm not entirely sure you can buy those still anymore anyway.

Well if I drink it then there is not proof left! At least after few hours!

Serious question:

What are the chances of being hounded by ATO or like for having a still from my online activities. Only two people will drink it.

For office people, I stopped drinking 3 years ago. I don't drink alcohol even if free in office (citing weight issues)

There will be no smell left after few hours!

Anyway, I know the law but I don't want to be caught. That still is no longer sold but can be bought used on ebay now.

Don’t sell it and then don’t worry about the size

Don’t sell and don’t tell.

Remember those two points and you won’t be hassled....
