and i stole the idea of the boiler from wooduck its the best design i have ever seen and its rock solid sturdy as
an upgrade to the shed is next then the ideas for a closed water circuit as water pressure is no the best here if someone in the house uses the tap at the same time it affects the pressure
its truly a learning of the meaning patience

Yeah very nice the man can weld I bet he wants a few drams for that. Now after that up grade you will be upgrading a few other thing to keep it hot. You will be up for some blind tastings soon. No stopping you now. Just a bit of spit n polish(on the still) :)) and it will look even better.
Nice work

Nice work. That looks a bit bigger than a 50 lt boiler?
And now you need to update your profile
