This still is liquid managed so no fiddling with water flow. You fiddle with liquid take off instead. I had something like this in the past and you will find the liquid comes off too hot so you need to cool it. I used a small Liebig condenser and routed the cooling water through that first. The packed section is very short and you will need to restrict take off to get anything decent. This like the T500 is to make neutrals only, and mine with cuts was still too smeared to get something good enough for my taste. You could remove the packing for stripping. For less money you could buy a keg boiler and two inch pot still parts, This is what I did next and double distilled on FFV recipe. This made a better product for me. Learning to run the still and cuts were the critical parts to be successful.
