I’m not sure if this will get any attention after letting this thread sit for so long but I need some advice on ethanol recovery again. To review, I’m an amateur.
I made an etoh still out of a 15gal keg with ferrules silver soldered in. It’s using a 2" tri-clamp column and stainless shotgun and defleg to get etoh for cold washing.
I’m looking to recover etoh from the wash, about 2-5 gallons per run. Making clean tasting edibles and maybe an extract after vacuum filtering and recovering etoh.
I may have scaled out of the glassware I have though.
If I want to run a few gallons at once is there a way to use something like two five gallon kegs and sanitary tubing distillation parts to do vacuum etoh recovery with a WOB-L?
I was going to get one of those little WOB-L pumps off ebay, I think they are rated for ~100torr. At 100 torr I won’t need tygon type tubing, the stuff from home depot will do the job?
I found this but I’m still ‘not sure’?:
