Reflux still design and discussion

Nearly finished

Postby Fatguts » Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:00 pm

]Been working on these in my spare time and have finally got the majority of them finished. I still need to modify the keg and fit some heating elements. Also need to fit some water connections to the liebig and dephlag. A big thanks to FSD for all the ferrules, clamps, chupa chups, bottle openers etc. Did a vinegar run on both of them today using the T500. Surprisingly, I only had 1 leak and the T500 lid handled the weight of the modular without incident. Its a long weekend here in SA so im hoping to fit the water connectors and do a sacrificial run...got a couple of TPW ready to go.

Any reason for two builds ccvm and pot wouldn't ccvm cover both?

I knew someone would ask that question! Yes the ccvm will cover both but im going to keep the T500 so i thought id make it a bit more useful.
