I am just wondering if I could / should / maybe, use a copper worm with my PSII 8 gallon reflux still? 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

You can do whatever you want, but there are no shortcomings to the liebig condenser.

As long as you keep a good flow of water to it, the liebig should be enough.

Alright, so the liebig that comes with the PSII is sufficient to cool condense and produce good output? 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?

in pot mode you just take the bottom part of the column off and only use a little copper. The liebig works great in either mode

The liebig is all you will need in any configuration as long as you have a full water flow. 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.
