viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8826#p151577Something like this should see you right! I thought about building one a while back and would have done this.

I Disagree. If you make it with a shotgun condenser you can use it when you upgrade. Also will handle heaps more power when stripping. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Very true MD ...
I saw 'keep it simple to run' and thought it just meant a simple build.

Thanks guy's,
hey MD, awesome build that you did, with the shotgun condensor what sort of length should i look at, this will be on a 25l boiler.
Benny, cheers bud that is a simple setup but very neat

Cheers dude. Pot stills are even more simple than me. You turn them on, watch the juice come out the end for a while, then turn them off again.
Might be different for you but my pot lasted two stripping runs before I wanted a bubbler, and now it won’t be hard to do. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

25L boiler....for now! You'll probably get a keg one day and slam 6000w up its bum!! Make a shotty to out perform your desires! I think mine is 450mm but it's 3". Most blokes use around about 500 long.
