Goog’s pot build
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2018 7:48 amJust thought I would share my pot still build with you. I managed to rescue a 50ltr beer keg from a farmers scrap heap for my boiler, when I got it it was covered in dirt and paint as well as having a big hole in the side of it. With a bit of love and a bit of swearing got it clean, the hole welded up and all my ports into it.
It has a 4” fill port, a 2400w submersible element, and a thermometer on the top. The pot is made of 2” copper 700mm long to a 25mm over 15mm Liebig condenser 1200mm long.
My controller is one I just bought off of eBay but so far it does the job and just plugs in so is easy
. Finished building it and after doing my cleaning and sacrificing run I did my first stripping run of some UJSSM and was very pleased with it. A 18ltr boiler charge took 2.5 hrs from turn on to turn off at about 2-2.5 ltrs per hour.
