Hi all,
Just starting to set up my cooling system, I got an IBC, and, after reading the earlier comments, ended up going for a 750W submersible pump for it.

I also got the piping to rum between the still & IBC; going for 19mm black poly pipe (just the cheap, irrigation stuff), after I had the guy at bunnings try to sell me 2 other types of piping - both of which were WAY more expensive. (Many thanks to you Macstill - that hurried phone call on the Saturday arvo to you actually saved me a shitload of cash!) ^:)^
As well as that, I got all the attachments that will run off the still

All in all, it wasn't a cheap exercise, coming in at just over $220 (and the IBC was free), however, the way I see it, if you're going to get a still that will literally last generations, and produce booze at a quality that you'dbe hard pressed to afford at a bottle-o, you may as well do it right the whole way.
At least now, if the dishwasher gets put on, it won't ruin a run - and I'll be saving a shitload of water, too! :D :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I am wondering though, do I need some sort of pressure reducer to stop fluctuations? I saw 100kpa, 200kpa, and 300kpa while shopping for the other stuff, or Is it overkill, as the pump stops that issue?
Thanks
