Hi Griffo,
depending on which type of reflux still you have, you can pull the packing out and it becomes a pot still ;)
as for adding 20L of water, that depends on your final ABV.
the reason being, that you dont want to put anything in your still that is greater than 40% ABV.
when i do a stripping run, i stop stripping at 20%, this leaves me with a final ABV of 40%, therefor i dont need to add any water ;)
