have had this pot still for a few years but not got around to using it. would it be suitable for doing grain and molasses washes? I'm wanting to make spirits with some flavor so that i can make rum, whisky & bourbon, any help would be appreciated.
i think the still is a still spirits one but i could be wrong.

Hi Bundy,

That still will work ok for what you want to do with, although you might want to loosely pack some copper mesh in the column to help remove sulphides.

The water inlet is the bottom one on your liebig.

Cheers.

thanks mate saves mucking about with my good still

Yeah it'll be fine mate, a bit slow being so small diameter but it will do for a pot still.

Cheers.

Hey Bundy,

Good to catch up on Sat, one thing I forgot to mention with the rubber bung you might want to use a bit of wood dowel instead with a bit of flour paste to seal it. It'ld be better than rubber :)

Next time I come up I'll have to taste test your first rum..........

I'll bring two bottles of mine next time, one for the brother in law and one for you :)

don't go to brother in law first.lol

Hey Bundy,

Are you going to tell everyone about your little mishap yesterday, or dont you want me to mention the frantic phone call I got?

:lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol:

I wont say anything unless you do, ok? :D

thanks mate. as macstill said doing a molasses wash Saturday, first 500ml spirits all clear, 2nd lot black shit had no idea what had gone wrong. 7.55am frantic phone call to macstill.who as usual put me on right track. for any one that as not had the experience i''m informed it's called puking , to me it's called frighten the shit out of the old fella.

To much wash in your boiler hey? Rum wash kinds of expands a bit :)
