Well here she is. "Nessie" cause she isn't pretty and nobody really knows if she exists :laughing-rolling:
upload image on internetBit jumbled up on the order, but we had a disaster with heat sinking through the fibro we had under the burner for our first go at a cleaning run and we scorched my mates deck. So off to Bunnings and I found these aerated concrete blocks set aside with broken corners. Long story short, $2 each and insulation overkill :handgestures-thumbupleft:
After vinegar, sac and first NGW runs, the bottom block was only warm to the touch. Very happy
And speaking of very happy... first wash through and happy is an understatement! We are stoked! The NGW doesn't have much taste to it straight off the still, but we both agree it shits all over any vodka we have ever had straight, not that either of us are vodka drinkers.
No crappy burn, just nice warmth in the chest. Very happy with how clean tasting it came through with thumper
Just to show proof of life, here is a link to a short vid of Bessie singing her thumper song :dance: :happy-partydance: :laughing-rolling:
