    also made a first run tonight. Went ok. short blue flame after two distillings. have alot of refinements to do with the still but i have proven to my son it can be done.he was surprised at the flame and the intensity of the heat. It was just a make shift teakettle still in the kitchen. So after a more permanent still is made we hope to distill and run a bit of ethanol to run in his car. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. A filter of dried corn stalks is made to filter out the remaining water from the finished ethanol.


    will the ethanol reaborb water from siting or once the mixture is about 100 % will it stay that way?
    It will absorb water from the air so keep it bottled tightly. - unless you want to add water, or carbonated water, ice, etc.

      Hi All,

      I probably missed this in amongst the posts but are these all "valved reflux stills" or are the ones you are talking about "internals"?

      Cheers, Pete'
