Running my new ccvm still for the first time after cleaning, made a batch of birdwatchers. Really surprised how well everything worked. I was probably a bit too conservative with the speed and cuts but at least the hearts were really clean.
Next up is a wheat flakes/ barley malt mash hybrid vodka 👍
New CCVM still
Hello everyone! New to the hobby with 10+ years background in home brewing. Just set up my first still built on top of a 70 litre brew monk kettle. Using all 2" parts with tri clamps.
Just did a vinegar run, full reflux worked but it was really difficult to get anything out the condenser when lifting the coil. The coil diameter is a bit too loose inside the 2 inch pipe. Vapor wanted to escape from the top no matter what power. Could the coil diameter be the only issue and can this be fixed with some packing or a collar? Do you see any other issues with my build?
Happy to be a part of this community and excited to learn the craft! English is my third language so sorry for typos.
