Here is a sweet little heat exchanger for recovering ethanol. I made it out of a stainless salad bowl, a bulk head fitting, and a compression elbow.
It sits on a modified cat litter bucket, and is filled with ice water to condense the incoming vapors.
Here is a picture of the components and the heat exchanger in action.
