We went for 100 L flat
As then I can just reach the bottom of the boiler for cleaning :) hahaha

120 sounds good if available. Four 25l batchs and some head room. I really want a 100l milk can but will prob end up with a 50l keg :handgestures-thumbdown:

Bugger i missed this whole page disregard my post about boiler noce work on the shotgun btw..

[Bosvelk]

Picked up my 190l olive drums for my fermenters, the cleaning process has begun,
Go to Broome for a week on Wednesday to two more days of cleaning and then a good week and a half of airing hopefully will be clean enough and mostly smell less :) hahaha

[Icefever]

nice work on the shotgun btw..

:text-+1: I'm in the middle of making a 3" LM/VM column for my milkcan....I've got to the shotgun and stalled....not sure if you solder the small pipes first, then solder the plate into the outer pipe??

I did the plates first then slid the pipes in, and soldered them, just need to be really carefull with heat

Another question, with fores do I take them out on a stripping run or just take out a lot more on the spirit run?
Cheers

Either way personally i ditch from strip and spirit run before i start collection.Way i see it better safe then sorry. Then i also ditch heads unless i am planning a feints run..
