Hey Lowie. Good build mate. :clap: :clap: :clap:
I used volcanic rock for a short while. Definitely strips the flavour but you only get a couple of goes with it. Goes a bit manky then and you need to replace it. I never tried to clean it so I just ran out of rock and switched to copper mesh.
Look forward to your first run post. :-B

Nearly there. Just waiting on a couple of 2" seals and I'm away. Kegs got 8 litres of 50/50 vinegar and my tpw sac is waiting patiently :handgestures-thumbupleft:

It's alive... I shall call you "Frankenfurter" :happy-partydance: vinegar run, check. Sac run, check. Thanks to everyone's input, Nuddys plans, and especially the forum as a whole for the inspiration. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to run one of these rigs (that's where the forum is a big help too, learning from the early settlers before me!). Got the hang of it pretty quickly and now I'm keen to crack on. I've got a rum and an ffv bubbling away ready as we'll a state my special surprise (more about that later...) Now all I need is my power upgrade as one of my plugs started to melt right at the end of the run - and I had to switch everything off in my shed including the bloody beer fridge :sad:
Cheers fellas, time to make some great booze. Time to retire my trusty still spirits super reflux still. I'll sack that in the for sale section :obscene-drinkingdrunk:

Cheers fellas. I'm going to post a lessons learnt too. Spent coin on shit I shouldn't have. I'll put that down to character building and training. Can I claim that on tax? :handgestures-thumbupleft:

You need your Rc above your packed section though as it acts as another bunch of plates for neutral, that's my understanding though.
