Before I got the 2 copper heads… I had a long stainless 3” column. I had to pack the column with copper mesh and coils to get the sulfates out of the distillate. With the copper heads I don’t need to do that anymore. And they create more natural reflux which is also a good thing. Normally I wouldn’t have the sight glass on the still… but I might start using them more. It creates a cool visual.😊 The sight glasses are really for putting copper bubble plates in to make highly pure alcohol like vodka. I have 4 of them but I never make vodka so they don’t get much use.
No absolutely not. Maybe rewatch. Although my dumb ass has been known to misspeak. Definitely 80-85 proof. Before re distillation. There is almost zero chance of a vapor leak in my setup. But one must always be careful and prudent. I obviously have tri clamps 🗜️ which leak nothing. But if you have a copper setup and use paste to seal your connections… There is an absolute chance of vapor leakage. Be safe at all times. Never take any chances. I certainly do not. Best wishes this holiday season. All the best.💪👍🥃😊
Thanks for your videos
I’m just happy someone is watching.🤣🤣🤣🤣💪👍🥃
This is fascinating! Can you explain the purpose of, and the packing material used in the sight glass? Thank you!
Never mind! I was watching these videos out of order. You explained this in the previous video 👍

i've doubled down in my pot still a couple of times. i diluted it down to 40% due to fire hazard. i think you said you take yours down to 60%?
No absolutely not.
