muddyriver Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I just purchased a 200 gallon boiler and I am trying to decide on a good diameter for my column. So far my first 2 builds have been a great success but I believe there is always room for improvement. Here are some details about the 2 stills in my Distillery Freedom Boiler- 35 gallon Column- 4 plate, 4" diameter Average % alc- 80-85% Democracy Boiler- 150 gallon Column- 5 plate, 6" diameter Average % alc- 90-95%+ I am considering both an 8" and a 10" diameter column. Your opinions are greatly appreciated. BTW- I make white rum. both stills produce an excellent flavorful product. Here are some pics. Freedom is on the left and Democracy on the right.

Artisan Still Design Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 we do a 12" column for anything larger than 150 Gallons. so for your 200, if you cant do 12 go as big as you can. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
