normal sugar wash ie; 5kg sugar, you collect down to 30%
its about 5lts. So 2x wash = 3 DJ,s max. they are made of
glass so easy to clean, last forever and on Ebay 2nd hand.

Try Gumtree for the DJ's around your area.

I found a guy down the road from me with 13 for sale.
Cost me £20.

I'll never fill these with my Airstill :-[

I'm sure a visit to the local tip/recycling centre and the promise of a pint or two or a bottle of "poteen" a day later will work out fine

Sure does. Westons make a cider that comes in 3 maybe 4 litre demijohns. They are really handy.

I have a bunch of spent wine and spirit bottles but am concerned the fluid might be too hot from my t500 and that it will be a pain collecting in multiple bottles. I cant collect in plastic as it will leach - i thought about a big stainless soup pot but theyre about £40 or a few demijohns but theyre not cheap either..

any suggestions?


The distillate from a T500 will not damage a regular glass bottle, and unless you mess up, the distillate will be cool anyway.
Failing all else, 10 or so wine bottles could suffice for your strip.

The bigger/better question is what comfortably fits below your stills take off point?

I just stick the pipe in the top of the demi, if its going too far in just move the demi further away so less pipe goes inside

How long is your pipe?

Does it dribble or drip?

How stiff is it?
