This is Docs fitted to my rig so I can check everything over before it's freighted, the valve arrangement belongs to him too but we're getting something really cool done to those in a local machine shop :D

They're designed as a Gin head, but I'm going to be having a play with rum infusions & tasty vodkas :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Just getting back to that T and valve arrangement you said it was getting some cool stuff done in a local machine shop would that be some sort of a blow off valve devise, Cause the way it is at the moment looks very dangerous , Two valves closed woudn't be a good scenario :scared-eek:

Edit I know automatic valve actuators so both can't be closed at same time :-B

Was thinking the same 1 2..............I'm guessing some sort of interlock that prevents both being off at once ....but where not talking half pissed DIY distillers here ...these are professionals operating these things :-B........still in the unlikely event , OH&S would have a field day .

Really it depends on what you are trying to achieve...low orbit or full escape velocity... at first Mac and i will be happy to achieve low orbit...But someday...the stars.
