I am rebuilding my home brewery and want to know if there is a problem with using copper for all the piping going between a three tank system. I use milled out 1" triclamp ferrules and solder 3/4" copper pipe inside. I use these a lot and they work great. I have three 55 gal pots so everything...

I agree with what you are saying Doug but my point is that during pot stilling we don’t “control “ the temperature. During your run it may start producing around 198F ( depending on ABV of boiler charge) but will keep climbing through the whole distillation. As you remove more alcohol from your...

More vigorous boiling will not change the head temp. The quantity of alcohol to water is what determines the head temp. The air still is basically a pot still, there is no forced reflux over a column of structured packing.

I understand particulate, I distill on the grain at 2.5 pounds per gallon on average. Doesn’t get much more particulate than that.😁 As far as someone telling you to crank it up, you don’t have power input control on that unit so anytime the element is on its on all the way. Trying to overcome...

You can't properly run a still off of temperature control. A stills heat input needs to be run off of power control. The two are not interchangeable. My boiler may be at 202F a quarter of the way through the run but turning power up or down will not change the temperature just the output. A...
