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?

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 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
