Hi mate what sort of system are you using to connect the condenser to the main rig

At the moment a 3/4 compression fitting will probably go to a stainless union as i have them at work

yeah I was going to use that but was apprehensive about the collar , probably was fine but I ended up going ultra old school with a rye nuts a copper 3/4 to 1/2 reducing bush ,pig of a thing really . Wish I'd splurged out with proper ss fittings

Nice job fellas, that should do a fine job once its sitting on a keg.

he forgot to mention that the lebieg is inch over 3/4

i forgot to tell you to give it a soak with vinegar and water then run it with vinegar and water then do the sacraficial alch run
viewtopic.php?f=41&t=467 is the process

and
:handgestures-thumbupleft: junkahol can be passed on from generation to generation (of stills at least)....a true multi-use product IMHO, shame ya cant get some cheap at Bunnings. 8-)

Bullshit! ya whack it through the reflux and drink it when no ones looking

Yeah could keep my mouth shut and appear ignorant to some but I'll open my trap and make it blatantly obvious to everyone

mmmmm hmmmmmm :laughing-rolling:

Well i finally fired it up yesterday with a vinager and water mix, no leaks so far and the runnings out of the condenser are at 18deg.
Just got to wait for my tpw to finish to run it
