Greetings all,
My 15 month old T500 is up for saddles replacement. Running SS at the moment. Would I be advised to go to copper to further reduce sulphur (metho) odours? If so will 600grm fill the tower, please?

I am pretty new to distilling but do have a T500. My last batch of neutral was the best, you could really tell the difference in quality since I changed the packing. If you have a friend or family member that could help you out, have a go at doing this.
I took a load of 15mm copper pipe and chopped it into 10mm round pieces. Each 10mm piece was then chopped into 3 equal pieces and then each one was bent with pliars to make a sort of half moon shape. I won't lie, it took me a while to do but now my column is three quarters filled with it. The rest of the column has the stainless saddles that were supplied, apart from a very small area that has a stainless scrubby at the end to hold everything in.

Hi StillBrewing,
I tried to make saddles from 15mm pipe, I cut 10mm small tubes from it, split in 3 equal pieces. When I try to bend the small pieces they kind of snap in the middle. Did you anneal your 15mm pipe?
Can you attach a pic of your saddles?
Sorry to intrude.
Thanks
