Hey everyone, new to the group. I just finished building my new still and was wondering how would be the best way to clean out the inside of the colum to get all the blackening left behind from the soldering. I built a Reflux still and the Condenser is 1 1/2" copper with a 1" pipe inside the water jacket as you can see, making it almost impossible to get a brush inside. I had heard that a 50/50 mix of Viniger and water would work, but would really like some input from yall. Thank, Sparky

That looks real nice Sparkey. Run the 50/50 through it & then when you do your 1st alcohol run don't keep the lickker. that should clean her up"
