Hello from Western Canada

" Hello,
Just beginning to get acquainted to your site. Looking forward to get a little further in as time permits. I have decided to build a Boka and I'm just acquiring parts for the build. So far I have a 53 liter stainless keg, a bunch of stainless tri clamp fittings, a 1/4" stainless valve that I may have to change out for larger size, home made copper Liebig condenser at 36", 3/4" over 1/2", home made copper 8" double coil condenser, 5500w element, and access to any size stainless tube. Also I have bought parts for the control box. Still have a ways to go, however a good start. I have good metal fabrication skills and lots of good items to trade my neighbor in exchange for his tig welding skills.
Update:
Progress is good. The beer keg has a 6" fellule port front and center for cleaning, 3" ferrule for the 48" packed column, 2" for element, 2" drain pipe and butterfly drain valve, just adding a 2" to 3" funnel shaped fill port on top. The Boka head is 18" for the coil and slanted plates. All tri-clamps. I have also made a pot still head to use with the removal of the Boka head and valve. I may make an extra smaller spool to work with this rather than using the packed 48". The 36" Liebeg will also clamp to the pot still head.
Thanks and looking forward to future conver

Thanks guys, here is a picture of the rig in pot mode. I'm adding a fill port tonight and getting more welding done. Most of what you see is tacked only. Hoping to have time to weld up the Boka head as I have it fabricated already.
Hope the pic works. I was having a bit of issue with the resize.
