The AlcoEngine Copper Reflux Condenser produces clean and pure alcohol. When using this condenser you will be able to collect up to 93% of the possible alcohol. The provided quick disconnects allow connecting your water source a breeze during the condensing process.

It can be fitted to both the grainfather and BrewZilla so long as you have the compatible distilling lids. The AlcoEngine Pure Distilling Lid - 2" TC can be used with the BrewZilla All Grain Brewing Systems.

Alternatively you can attach it to a commercial keg using a 2" TC Clamp. To do this you will need to remove the sanke spear and secure the condenser using the TC clamp while ensuring you have the included gasket in place between the condenser and your keg.

It comes with two attachable orifices, one that is narrow more pure alcohol production (0.6mm ID) and another that is wider and is primarily used for stripping runs (1mm ID). Also included is a collection tube and a digital thermometer for keeping track of when the spirits will run.

The quick disconnect fittings are all 1/2" QD, and are only compatible with the AlcoEngine Style Quick Disconnect Fittings, all other sizes and styles are NOT compatible.

Please Note: Keg and 2" TC Clamp are NOT included.

great

I bought this to extract the alcohol from spoiled wine. I attached it to a 15gal keg. I heat the keg on my camp chef stove, takes about 60 minutes to get to temp. Then about 2-3 hrs to run and another while for the tails. first run was 94%, 2nd 92 and 3rd 96% I tried cooling with a pump, but the pump cannot provide the needed water pressure as the tubes are restrictive. It is also designed for lower BTU's, so you will have to dial the heat down a bit once it is going, if you are using propane. My bluetooth thermometer fits nicely, which makes it a little easier to keep an eye on everything. The hardest part was trying to make the water connections fit well and not leak.

Doesn't Come Ready To Use

I just received this, and my only issue is that it doesn't come with everything you need to get up and running. Specifically you need your own tubing and connectors to attach to a sink or a hose. that's not a huge deal but I wish that was indicated in the description, perhaps with a link to which size of tubing and what connectors you need so you can put them in the same order (and not have to pay another shipping fee later, or do track them down at a hardware store). Also, there's supposed to be two attachable orifices, and while there are two pieces, one of them is securely connected to the collection pipe, making the other one useless. Aside from that, it looks sturdy. I may come back and update this review after I've done a couple runs.

Reflux Column Awesome And Hints

fantastic. I attach to a sanke keg with a 2 Tri Clamp. the cooling line is garden hose size quick disconnects and i was unable to get them off without damaging the copper so if obk sells it like that please make that clear so one can buy the correct connectors. i prefer bare copper and just clamp it down over hose. because it is only around 21 short the product has 3% room for improvement so i bought a 24 spool extension with tri clamps to make it longer and copper packing. this column comes packed with stainless steel scrubbers and not copper packing also. why they advertise 1/2 OD Barbs? someone complained they cant get the spout off and change it to the bigger or smaller hole piece... they didn't know how to use 2 wrenches. it just takes a bit of muscle. overall fantastic machine. thanks OBK for this awesome thing. also... don't forget you need to know how to unscrew the bottom ring/flange thingy to attach it to your lid or sanke. that needs to be seperated for sankes

Runs hot

While the column output is slow, minimal water usage is needed and it can be run fairly low at the boiler. My main gripe is that the product outflow is not cooled directly and the copper body conveys heat past the reflux column and causes the output liquid to come out up to 60°C(!) I wrap a damp rag strapping around it and a fan to cool it a bit but a jacketed outflow tube would be an improvement.
