G'day Guy's,
Well Sam did bring up a good point about my setup for making neutral where I had the packed section above the RC. So this morning got to it and did a totally new setup where the 500mm packed section is below the RC and the 400mm blockhead still has plenty of roof clearance :happy-partydance
The drain tap below the parrot kept leaking so I changed it to a ball valve and now it shouldn't leak. I did find that trade flame from bunnings is total crap as it took a good 10 minutes just to hard solder a 1/2 pipe into the tee piece. So when a few leaves off the cabbage can be spared I'm going to buy a bottle of oxy and go back to oxy/lpg and just use the tradeless flame torch for soft soldering.
With this new setup I do need to make a 3" section to bring the height of the parrot down but for now a 1/2 joiner and a bit more 1/2 copper pipe will do to get the output lower.

As the still has had a citric acid bath after today jobbies I'm going to run it doing a distilled water run to ensure it nice and clean for the next run.
Cheers Bryan
