Hello.... I'm Mr Ed.
I am thinking about building my own still ! I've done a fair bit of research on the subject, visited many sites, downloaded much stuff, pictures, etc.
There is still one area of which i am still not clear about.
Does anyone out there know anything at all about using a tea urn with a temperature controller as the boiler unit.
The one i am looking at is the new style with a plate / disc type element.
It has a neoprene type rubbery seal at the bottom to seal it from the electrics underneath it.
I figured if it is tough enough to withstand the normally boiling water routine,,,,,,,,it would be tough enough to withstand a wash with an alcohol content of the average wash.
I was also keen on the idea of temp control of the wash as it was distilling, rather than a random twim element on/off routine.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this.
Cheers.
