I've been mesmerized by my 2 new huge copper boilers... 140L & 180L :mrgreen:

Just standing there looking at em and thinking how I'm going to set them up, but cant stop thinking about a 140L thumper :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's called sorted in 'chronological order'.

Means you just dump everything on top of everything else as soon as your finnished with it. ;)

Just tell her there's no way she's sleeping in the shed, and the dog will growl at her if she tries to barge in there, so she'll either have to look the other way or check the share accomodation classifieds 8-)

In my shed its called called "hanging it up on the floor"
Gave the new pot still a fair workout today and stripped 75L of TPW......very happy with the result and soooooo glad I bit the bullet and built my own. Looking back I don't know why I thought it would be so hard to do, it was just a pile of copper bits Saturday morning.

I purposely create a huge mess in my work area during the week and as Friday approaches start talking to the missus about needing to clean up under the house, which leads to, " i probably should run the still while I am down there".

On the weekend & snapped the lawn mower cord, was cutting some vines and cut the plug of the exteranl fluro light. Had an electrican start fixing my water pump (puppy chewed the cords) to find out water got into the computer board & wont be covered under warranty.

However did get all the fitting for the pond pump to set up the water recycling (but not much good to me without a water tank pump).

Well I just enrolled in "perform advanced welding using gas arc tungsten arc welding process" looks like I am going to learn how to weld stainless to copper and copper to copper. The fella told me it's "easy to weld copper" I am shit at welding stainless let alone anything else :lol: I'm going to get the stainless welding down first then have a go at copper, then stainless to copper - 30 hrs so hopeully I'll get it down pat by the end of it.

I am tempted to have a go at aluminium as it's in the course but you can't use aluminium in distilling :(

A copper still TIG welded together would be as flash as......... I am keen as to get started wasn't keen on handing over the cash though.

Today after stripping my TPW with the new pot still over the weekend I filled the T500 boiler with the resulting 40% wash. So far ive pulled off 7 jars x 400Ml and 3 jars x 800Ml willl be interesting to see what I end up with.
Have calculated somewhere around the ten Litre mark. Should get a good chunk of hearts out of this lot. Gunna need a shit load of lemons for Lemoncello :D

Went over town for pink slip on the ute, and birthday shopping.

Just finished boiling 20 kilos of chick wheat for the mushroom spawn bags, the keg bomb is coming up to pressure with eleven bags in it now.

Sounds more like an invalid club.

I've got knacked arms after smashing both of them 4 years ago. The upside is now I know how to make my own drinks and the jerky to go with it!!
