Welcome aboard mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:
You do know solder works better to hold copper together than tape? :laughing-rolling:
Sorry couldn't help myself, looks pretty damn cool mate :D

Welcome aboard mate. Like the look of your gear there. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Technically the six week build is still ongoing. Until he gets alcohol out of it I don't think we can call it finished. Yeah?
Hurry up and run the still Brendan.
Run the still
