esoteric 25ltr. reflux still

[pannacotta374]

hello,
billmcc has ponted me in the direction of the esoteric uk 25ltr reflux essential oil extractor/still . priced at £280.22 seems like a good bye. i was just running it past you other guys to see what you think? there is little information with this still & no pictures, but i have asked for those. take a look. http:/www.1-homebrew.co.uk/department/...xtractors. thanks. kevin

Hi pannacotta374 it all depends what you want both these stills are very similar the essencia is very fast but also can be run using just one heating element also after a purchase of one of these stills a power controller would need to be made to help them run more efficient and also reduces the amount of cooling water required
if you are mainly after reflux the the t500 may be the better option but still over £400. the still spirit super reflux comes with ceramic saddles for column packing and will produce about 87 %abv with the essencia packing it will produce over 90%abv with spp fitted it will produce 94% abv.the essencia produces greater than 90% abv out of the box
