First build! 2' potstill

Postby Pete8686 » Sat Nov 07, 2015 7:17 pm

Finished my first build and very pleased :D No leaks and knocks down the vapour easily. 2' column and a 1m 3/4 over 1/2 inch liebig. I ran a litre of vinegar with a few litres of water for about half hr, and then put 1.3l of heads/fores through with water for a cleaning run, is that enough? Looking forward to new challenges with a bubbler build :handgestures-thumbupleft:
