Pot stills are much simpler and you
dont need a reflux still for this alcohol.

Apparently you need the reflux for the modern fast ("turbo") yeasts.

14% in 24 hours, 20% in 5 days. ISTR seeing up to 24% alc/vol advertised.

However, the speed comes at the cost of a multitude of off flavors and oils, and
needs the reflux to make it drinkable, i.e. 94-96% without the off flavors (or
any other flavor).
