Ok thinking of getting something a bit more efficient than my air still.used it for 18 months now and it gives mixed results and it s so slow .

what are the recommendations please ,i want very clean spirits as i use it for vodka mainly.

That depends on budget i have a second hand t500 i got that's good for providing neutral or if your handy you could build one for about £100 search YouTube for ideas.

How much do you want to spend?
T500 with reflux column makes very good neutral.

Buy a freezer, and stick with the AS - MUCH QUICKER and better neutral.

What do you reckon its worth to make him an offer ?
most of it i dont need as ive got everything.

Ninja, the secret to a good neutral is a good wash.
I highly recommend Kale Wash, its so easy, clean
and cheap.
Mash is right the AS is a great bit of kit, but if
you dont want to go down the freeze jack route, then
T500 is good plug and play. Get yourself a water flow
regulator and power controller and your in.
Later in the day Copper ware is great for Rum etc.

cheers gazza, i have done a few kale washes, the last failed no idea why just a non starter ,i will have to get some more fresh kale and try again .is everyone still on the original recipe that was posted ?.
ive not even thought about the freezer thing tbh will have a read up .would like to get a better still though.can the cooling water be pump fed from a large Fv or similar so as not to need a water supply ie. from one of the still spirits regulators ?

He probably wants to sell it all together I'd about £350 but chance your arm and start of lower ask him what's his lowest price.

250 no bids 4 days left..
by the way what is the power controller for ?

It reduces the power output i think the slower let's say the t500 is 2kw if I'm right in saying you run the power controller at say 1400 watts it produces better alcohol I've not got one but I'm looking at getting one
