I think you were expecting a bit much from a light dimmer switch. I got my design off the Web or even the Forum. It uses a few simple parts (including a...

If you wish to have two columns, it would probably be best if you also had two condensers and two stream splitters rather than one reflux splitter, then two...
I use sugar, so I don't have much advice about grains. What I am sure of is that you will need to get enzymes in there to break down the complex starches into...

... multiple ... Yep, but guess what happens when one reflux pipe is 2mm higher than the other ... One large shotgun on top of four columns is also worth...
