I've been doing a fair amount of updating on the webstore, adding pics, descriptions and some new items.

We've been inundated with sales through the store with what has turned out to be our busiest month ever, so I'm happy to say the web store has been running extremely smoothly with transactions being a breeze for both us and our customers.

Ta.

So when are you going to update your equipment list ? :))

[the Doctor]

Geez Mac...doesn't the new shiny boiler count....SOON...oh yeah!
Doc

[MacStill]

Yeah that boiler is going to be something else alright, cant wait to see your 8" x 6 plate plus packed section sitting on it... it's going to be a monster :happy-partydance:

Hopefully life will improve by freeing up time for you running such volumes less regularly, I dont know how you do it all through a 4" still, that's dedication :wtf:

[the Doctor]

Mate as you know, it has been a case of running every day I can for months now, and still we sell out of vodka every weekend. The new still will certainly make life a lot easier for all of us. Especially as we cut so heavily virtually reducing our vodka runs to about 50% of output. Great quality sure, but lots of work...lot's and lot's of work. Our vodka's are now featured in some sweet bars now...the latest is 1888 in Pyrmont Sydney, a very cool boutique hotel beside Darling Harbour.

After receiving a sample of structured copper packing last week I've decided to order in a box of the stuff to see how it goes through the webstore, it's very nice packing as good a quality as the Amphora stuff so it should be worth stocking going by the number of enquiries I get each months for it.

You'll find it in the store under accessories as coming soon, I hope to see it early next week.

Also for those who wish to turn their T500 or similar boiler lids into a tri clamp fitting I have great news, I have developed an adapter system to fit most if not any of the brew shop style boilers, these adapters will be available for purchase by the end of the month all going well, I'm not sure how much they're costing me yet but should know in a few days once I get my invoices sorted.

Cheers.

yeah i got this stuff of my watch list on ebay (from Canada I think) bit pricey for me at the moment though

The mesh I got is really nice, I can see why it would make excellent packing.

I'll update it in the store now I know I'm happy to release it for sale, it's a little expensive but you don't need a lot of it.

will update with pics soon, and start a new thread about the stuff, pretty keen to give it a go myself in my 6" x 500mm packed section :dance:

Any more news on the copper packing?? :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[MacStill]

Any more news on the copper packing?? :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yeah it turned up last week, it's nice stuff but it's got oils on it from the manufacturing process... I washed a piece in feints and it came up fine :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'll go adjust the settings in the webstore so it's available.

Thanks for the reminder :smile:

Hi Mac, I am just tyre kicking -did these adapters make it to the store? I have potential buyer for my potstill but need to make the tri clamp connection fit his stillspirits boiler. I can get a spare lid if needed.
Just looking at options as I don't want to sell him my keg boiler.
