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.

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

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
