Pretty soon I'll have these in stock too, they will be available in 2", 3" and 4" models.

I'm going to call it the shot pot :D

Not sure if this question is kosher or not but are you making all this stuff yourself or are you getting it pre-fabbed somewhere else? Either way the quality looks shit hot mate. Just figured you must have a serious shed to do all the SS work + the copper

Hi,

I'm happy to answer questions on my products mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I have never hidden the fact that my SS gear is made over in Taiwan, I'm actually happy to state that :D

On the quality side that is the most important thing about this gear for me, I cant offer these components as cheap as others for that very reason.

Cheers.

I'm having trouble finding a decent spot to take a pic of a 5 plater with all the gear on it, it's too tall to fit in the house so I'll have to wait till after dark :laughing-rolling:

Would subway breads be good packing for the 12" bubbler. I can get plenty of those. I'm thinking an Italian herbs and cheese infused vodka. Something that would go great with pizza.

On the product condenser side, is the top one that connects to the 90degree just some filler pipe to make it more accessible to the output for all the non-giant distillers here?

Yes it's just a hollow pipe mate, you can add or take away lengths from 100mm to 600mm long :D

Now that's handy, and a nice idea for a Christmas present. An extension section for my column. Half copper, half stainless :drool:
