I seem to recall Mac telling me that 100l milk can is 755mm and 50l version is 635mm. I reckon the 100l boiler is a touch too big for a hobby scale operation but that's just my personal opinion.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Hey Bluc, did you ever get the 100ltr?
Was it worth it or not?
Did you eventually realise that a 50 was all you needed or do you still lust for one?

I’m trying to work out which.

The main advantage I can see for me is large volume stripping runs with a pot still.
I have a fair sized orchard and live in a fruit growing area.

100 L for stripping runs would be great and if it's a 4" pot still sitting on it it'd be incredibly fast, and shed height wouldn't be an issue with just a pot. But yeah, money can be a burden.

I love the 100L, especially for stripping from my 200L barrels.

But remember you don't have to fill it to 100L every time you use it....
