Recommended Posts

I got these two:

The heating mantle also is a stirrer. I've not had a problems with either one. I swapped out the Grahm condenser for a Leibig so it doesn't have issues with flooding.

Thanks.  I'd seen that one, but the kit you linked above in the kit is the one I ended up getting (pellet labs was out of stock, but this looks exactly like theirs).  That kit has a 14/23 ground glass joint for the graham condenser connection.  The Liebig you linked is 24/40.  Did you connect it with a bushing?

I have the 2L pellet labs still, and it does indeed experience flooding/surging due to condenser design, as well as bumping in the still because there is no stir bar in the heating mantle. The bumping can be resolved by using boiling stones / copper mesh to give it something to nucleate around, and the condenser works but I would be happier with a liebig.
