Using the Brau Supply Unitank Pro All In One as still

[Dan Wendling]

I am considering using the Brau Supply Unitank Pro All In One for both beer brewing and for distillation. They mention that only 2.1 Gal is required for full element submersion so seems like no worries for a 5-6 Gal batch in a still configuration.

Would be adding a 3" Hybrid Reflux column from Mile Hi / Still dragon


Anyone using this or have comment on any concerns?

If you have a 6 gallon boiler, you can run a 3 inch packed column but would have trouble running a plated column (you'd leave a lot of product in the column). 15 gallon boiler would be fine.

I am also looking at the BREWHA Small 4-in-1BIAC unit with a 3" packed column. Might get the dome lid modified to have a 3" TC fitting added for the column if adapting to the 1.5" TC port doesn't work well. The BREWHA and Brau Supply are about the same cost, the first has a much more information and support documentation available. Hard choice.
