Welcome mate.

Why not build the pot still to go on your keg boiler? :think:

Also, get rid of the plastic product outlet hose and get a piece of copper in there :handgestures-thumbupleft: Nothing except copper. stainless and glass should touch your spirit ;-)

If you build the pot still right, you'll be able to use bits of it for your bubbler.

Or are you going to buy a 5 Star Bubbler? :think:

Thanks for ur warm welcomes

I would like to build a modular bubbler out of stainless steel as i am a fitter and can tig up my own gear at home or work.
I already have a 2" milk fitting on the keg so ill just get another fitting to build the modular off and take or add bits depending on what i want to do with it.
this site has opened up my eyes i only knew of distiling to make piss not the refined art i see in some of these threads im in awe at the build quality and process that goes on i will be tryn a TPW next after i run off this weekend i was using sam willards temp tollerant but the bloke at the brew shop was sayin how good turbo was i thought id give it ago well it will be first and last thanks to the wisdom ive seen and read in these pages keep up the good work
