Pretty new to the distilling scene and didn't know if a worm would help condense output? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys. If I switch it to a pot still (which I believe is possible with the model I have) will I need a worm to aid in cooling and condensing?

If you have steam coming out the condenser then there is either not enough water flowing through the libig or you are running your boiler way to hot.
