What if you took a 15mm corrugated copper tap adapter and cut it halfway at an angle?
You would get two flexible spouts for the end of the Liebig. Assuming you make at least two of these. Allow a little tweaking to your collection vessel. Maybe.

I'm not sure how high the end of the liebig should be over the worktop, I'm thinking it should be just higher than a demijon with a funnel in the top for collection, a 25 litre wash should fit in a single demijon.

Anyone got any other ideas for this that might be better?

2. Also the diameter of the boiler body?
= 12 inches

Can any one tell me the height from the worktop to the hole on the lid on the boiler? Also the diameter of the boiler body?

I need to know this so I can angle the liebig correctly, if I get it wrong the liebig will not pass the lid!

My soon to be new home has a large natural pond.......
Enough from me,this thread is off topic.

I'm curious though. It physically fits where any Liebig fits only shorter for a given condensing power. So angle the issue or are you still airstilling without a Liebig?

Doesn't really fit with the way that I still,maybe that's a reason for forgetting?

I made one a while back and have found that although, in theory it is best operated vertically, in practice it works well at any angle even horizontal. The angle problem relates to pooling in the crimps. This would likely cause some smearing on the cuts. I can't say as I have only used it to recover cleaning solvent not drinking alcohol.

Might be worth getting a cheap set of pipe benders. Would save some soldering and potentially look a bit slicker.

There was a thread I read somewhere about pinching the 15 mm inside the Liebig and that made it far more efficient, but I think it was angle related...

Yeah! ... good plan - think of all the sugar you can buy with the proceeds :D
