Thanks to everyone who said I should build my own, after seeing Mac's builds in the flesh it gave me the kick start to build my own. This is my first ever go at soldering so go easy.
Break down of costs;
Propane bottle and torch - $30
Flux and Solder - $30
Copper pipe - FREE from mate
Copper fittings - $50 from the above mate
Stainless Steel union - $6.50
SS tri clamp,ferrule and seal - $20(next time will be buying www.5stardistilling.com.au items)
Small spirit level - $8(still managed to stuff some of the connections)
1 3/4" to 4" pipe cutter - $35(second hand)
1/4" to 1 1/2" pipe cutter- $28
TOTAL - 207.50
+ Time spent getting it done......
So the vendors on here selling similar items are giving everyone a great deal IMHO....
Tips picked up, don't use solder like a paint brush, wait until the connection is at the right temp. Test it by putting the solder on it and listening/seeing it sizzle .
Get a level and use it.....
Crimp the inner tube on your liebig.
Thinking I should order a www.5stardistilling.com.au bubble torpedo to fit up to the boiler before the pot head??
