No welding or difficult work is required. • It is inexpensive to make. • Odour-free when it is working. • Does not need cooling water so it ca be used anywhere. • Small – easy to hide away, even when it is working. • Makes good alcohol. • Easy to dismantle. Does this appear too good to be true? Not at all, read on and you will understand how it is done! IMPORTANT! Before you build and use a still, ensure that you check the law in your country. Distillation as a hobby is illegal in certain countries. Better than the usual apparatus Many different types of plans for hobby stills exist but almost all have difficult components in common. They are welded together using expensive stainless steel. Some have electronically controlled electric elements. When they are in operation they need cooling water. The process gives rise to smells, and the cooling water can cause turbulence in the plumbing which can alert the neighbours to what is going on. Leaving a still without supervision can be worrying – tubes can come adrift, water can be cut off. Unfortunately out comes a pungent but otherwise strong spirit, which must be purified several times through active carbon before it is a good product.
