I think I will put the boiler on adjustabel feet and not use wheels as some of you have suggested. I have finally sorted my garage and have plenty of room for distilling now.
I have been working on the boiler a little every day since I finished Bender The Bubbler and taken some photos along the way.
I got this keg for free from Summie, thanks man. Took the spear out of it, gave it a wash with water and started cutting holes out. I'm going to use 2 2400W elements so I cut holes with a specific SS hole cutter for 2" ferrules to be welded (which I still have to do).

I then cut a 1" hole with a specific SS hole cutter in the bottle for a drain. I have already bought a 1" ball valve so this has stopped me using a 2" drain.

Marked out the 2 4" ferrule holes ready to cut. I didn't have a SS hole cutting that was 4" so I used a Cobolt drill bit and an air drill and "stitch drilled" the two holes out and cleaned up the edge with a 2" diametre linishal die grinder attachment. This was an absolute BITCH to stitch drill out in stainless steel!!
