Hello All, I'm seeking a small still for R&D; it would need to be capable of generating neutral spirits. I have tooled around with the Turbo 500 packed column (https://stillspirits.com/products/turbo-500-still); their literature states upper limits of 186 proof, which I was able to reach (188-189, in fact). I wasn't able to get to 190 proof, which I'll need for compliance. I've contemplated fitting the Turbo 500 with a 2" TC adapter and adding a different or taller plated or packed column. However, I'm not sure of the Turbo's heat output (1600 W) being sufficient. So, my questions for the community: Are there columns I could fit on the Turbo 500 that could generate >190 proof spirits with its existing heat output? or Are there other small stills that could get me >190 proof? Some other considerations: The wash would be free from solids, so direct heating elements are fine I don't have access to steam Cost and space are considerations - I'm looking for something less than 15 gallon capacity. Thanks in advance!

So, basically a few welds on the thumper to condenser arm, and then it's time to give it a polish. Thanks for all your advice and support on here, everyone. Here it is the first time the boiler shook hands with the thumper. As a point of reference, I'm 6'3".
