You could also do a 100mm high RC, a 150mm plate module, and have enough 4" left over for a couple of BIG sightglasses, of that's what you want (i prefer 3" SG's on a 4" rig, but that's me...)
$76/metre seems pretty reasonable to me, for brand new pipe!
Mate, loving the idea of the gin basket, hadn't even considered it! But I used to make a herbal maceration in Croatia all the time, known locally in coastal Dalmatia as Travarica (or, herbal spirit). So the gin basket would absolutely go down a treat with me...love your work :clap:
Is a 100mm RC enough? Really? I would have thought it would need to be a little taller.
And if I'm going to do a bubbler in future, I'm thinking a glass bubbler for nothing more than the fact I love the look of them. I reckon the SG columns are cool as but I like the glass bubbler heaps better.
So in that respect, I'll have a 500mm pot column, a 150mm blockhead, leaving me with 350mm left over for RC and to flatten out to build my future plates with. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
