How to Turn a Copper Still into an Electric Still
You will need a few parts and and some basic tools to convert a copper still into an electric still.
We sell a copper still electric upgrade kit that comes with all of the parts needed to upgrade a copper still to electric. You can checkout our copper element adapter kit here:
Our kit includes a copper ferrule which easily solders to the copper boiler. When installing the ferrule make sure it is installed high enough on the boiler so that the element adapter is not lower than the bottom of the still.
1) Hold the element adapter up to the still so it is higher than the bottom of the boiler and make a mark. Next simply trace the copper ferrule with a marker.
5) Test for leaks and clean up the solder
6) Attach the electric heating element to the ferrule with a triclamp and gasket.
I have the ferrule soldered in at 90 degrees from the front about 3 inches on center from the bottom . Where do you recommend placement of the temperature probe for the controller?
Thanks,
