While in my local HBS yesterday fiddling about with a grainfather, or fell over one of these.

Has anybody any experience with them?

Presumably this is a small column with the Liebig on the side?

Not a bad HBS type unit
Can be detuned to be Pot if required

You can do better

That looks suspiciously like something I'd see in every HBS in country.
Would be parked, on a shelf, alongside T500 unit.

Do they sell? Don't know. Suspect T500 has more take up.
I seldom take myself seriously....

I will admit it looks a bit simple but.....I am surprised no one has tried one.

Ive used one it distills at 93 abv with essencia packing,depending on your heating element it can distill at a very fast rate ie 2kw 2 ltr per hour 3kw they claim upto 3 ltr per hour but ive not tried that and you can bypass the reflux column for a pot still.its a bargain at £125 snap it up.parts are available look here
