Ahhh I knew that. :handgestures-thumbupleft: cheers!
Yer not sure whether I should put some sort of reducer just before the condenser,,what you recon man?

Don't think that is totally necessary. I'm really not the most experienced to give you the best answer 8-} From the angle of your last pick is your condenser horizontal :think: if so you may want to reduce your angle. Also don't forget your flange on ya main pipe. Hope you havn't soldered the main angles together yet or you'll have a bit of trouble :D looking good though bet you can't wait to run it :D

:text-+1:

I would be putting that shotgun on at least a 45 degree angle, if not more. ie. Closer to vertical.

Yer crap pics srry,its on a downward angle.is this enough angle,?wont join the condenser on yet till I do a flange at the bottom of it to attach with a triclamp to a keg. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Much better :handgestures-thumbupleft: maybe even a little more. If you can have a triclamp fitting between the shotgun and main column I wish I had done that with mine. Makes it easier to store. I'm thinking of doing that to mine. You will be so happy when you do your first run. I just cant beleive how good macwhiskey is :D I just have to now finish all my essence brews. What a shame 8-} and build up my new brews. Off to some friends this arvo will be sneaking a btl of mac with me :D :D I thinkthey will like Iit :D

Man I got mac recipe saved in my notes and can't wait to go one or ten of those! :handgestures-thumbupleft: yer prob a good idea about the triclamp,would make it easier to pack away for sure.going to finish it weds or thursday.ill prob just get the triclamps when I get the mac element,that may be awhile,can't wait ~x( .sparky at work will help me with the electrics etc for a bottle,so got that covered.bloody workin tonight so have a macwissky for me tonight ok :handgestures-thumbupleft:

hahah looks like the perfect shape to get your mouth around.

Finally sealed the condensor,got the shits chasing the pissy little holes so covered the whole ends,this shouldn't be prob I hope???silver solder so should be good?about 30 bucks worth!! :laughing-rolling: anyway also I flanged out the bottom to fit on the keg,the diameter is a bit smaller than the keg hole,skill level pretty low, :O) ,is this going to be a prob?its about a 1 or 2mm out.other than that I just gotta hang in there for an mac element,and triclamp.going to solder the condensor to the still part,was going o clamp it to make it easy to store but fark it.wont be stored long enough once I get it together! :D

I just covered the whole end of my shotgun... I can't see it being a problem!
