The T-500 supposedly takes a lot of the guess work out of distilling. Its arguably the most efficient unit on the market and it doesn't cost too much. It'll pump out ~3.5L of 94 percent in about 6 hours or so.
Remember, it's illegal to operate without the appropriate paperwork from the revenuers. But I'm sure you already knew that. |
That's a fractionating still - the way to go, if you're going to make the effort. It can be very precisely controlled and is much more efficient, not only in running, but in maximizing output. If you're wanting to get into the clear liquors (vodka, gin, etc), this is the type of still for you.
