Welcome CJ.
Definitely need pics of your still!
You're a bourbon drinker I presume? There are some good recipes in the tried and proven section that may be of interest:
Mac's Bourbon Whiskey Knock Off (BWKO) and Zak's Cornflakes Whiskey (CFW).
Both are dead simple and yield very good results.
Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Howdy folks
I'll be doing a stripping run in a couple of days so will take some snaps of my very humble little set up :-)
Well spotted Professor - bourbon is indeed my poison and once I've got through my current UJSSM I'll be flipping a coin on your 2 excellent suggestions.
Loving this place.

Bulldog clips and flour paste are not safe bud.
You will not find one build on this forum that incorporates them.
For your safety I would consider making/buying a better boiler ;-)

Thanks Yonder and Sam - points well taken.
I'm a little on the 'time available' side rather than 'money available' side of the seesaw at the moment but upgrading is never far from my mind.
I appreciate your concern folks.
regards
CJ

If you did the rest of the copper work yourself then grabbing a 50L beer keg and putting an easy flange on your column will be cheap as :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Funnily enough Sam there is a rather shiny keg for sale within this forum which I have my eye on :-) I did the rest of the soldering - first time so I wont take too close of a photo but happy with the learning curve so far. Have just learnt that a reputable plumbing supply mob in the area is happy to deal in 'per meter' for 2 inch copper so will hopefully practising some more soldering before too long.
Thanks for the come back dude/ette - really appreciated.
