Looking for some guidance on which size/type of distiller. I've made a LOT of beer-OK not lately, but one of the things I used in my beer haze-I mean days, was a recirculating mash infusion system based on converted beer kegs. It made 13 gallon batches. I still have the carboys and canning pot for "typical" batches (6 gallons). Is there an advantage to using a converted beer keg for a boiler? Do you lose some efficiency by doing smaller say 5 or 6 gallon batches? If I get a chance, I'll throw up a photo of the beer system.

If you have good kegs then you could certainly just buy the HC column and attach it to your keg. Some use propane on that setup & I've pics of nice kegs with dual electric hot water heater elements installed. I do 6 gallon runs, but I have other equipment set up for 6 gal. so that's what I use. Others like to be able to experiment with larger batches, which you would be able to do. Course you can still do 6 gal runs with a 13 gal pot.
