Hi from a long time lurker

Postby clintonb » Tue Oct 23, 2018 3:37 pm

Hi guys and girls,

My name is Clinton and I have been lurking around this site for around 10 months now reading and rereading everything I can possible find that I think I might need to know or want to know about distilling etc. I drink pretty much all spirits but mostly drink Bourbon/ Tennessee whiskey and my other favourites are Vodka, Gin and Scotch. I am also very partial to beer and wine as well.

My plan is to build a 4" bubbler with a carter head that is reconfigurable so to reuse some of the parts for different configurations.

The plan is 7 plates X 5 one inch caps with 3/4" riser and downcomer and a 25mm bath depth, complete with a 600mm packed section. Two of those sections would then be reused when the carter head is needed.

I am currently gathering bits and pieces and have accumulated pretty much all the copper I think I will need at this stage. Just finalising my plans before I pull the trigger.

Anyway thanks to all the guys who have come before us with a wealth of knowledge ^:)^

When I am ready I will start a build thread and ask some questions that I may still have even after all the research I have done.

Cheers

Clinton
