Haven't been let in on this one but there seems to be a reducer with what looks like a fridge magnet stuck to it under the collection glass. Reckon I've seen it before ;-)

My first run with the new rig is going flawlessly, the single bubble caps are really cool :happy-partydance:

Here's a crappy video.

No I couldn't notice anything different from any other bubbler I've built or run, everything was just as it should've been :handgestures-thumbupleft:

With 3600w of power on a controller set at 2/3 I was getting 93% ABV at around 2.5 L/PH and obviously this could be pushed harder, this is how I run all my other rigs as it gives me the result I'm chasing for flavour and crispness in the final product.

So yeah, it's a winner :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Very beautiful Mac, stunning looking piece of art. Always loved the look of copper with stainless.

Thanks for the continued support everyone, I've been overwhelmed with enquiries regarding these rigs and am currently out of stock for a short time.

I never ever expected to sell half a dozen of these in such a short time and have reinvested in getting a fair few more, I've even got another model coming that's going top be pretty exciting, as well as some other custom accessories.

As well as all this I have bulk stocks of elements, sight glass lenses, tri clover gear and a few other goodies coming :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheers.
