To seal the top of the column, and end cap will do the job nicely. If you figure out soldering, it's fairly simple once you get the hang of it...otherwise a good flour paste seal :? may hold it on there...Just ensure the top of the offset head above the condenser is open to the atmosphere

There's a few methods for keg connection: research 'easy easy flange' on this forum, you need someone to hard solder braze the flange ring for you so that it doesn't break apart when hammered flat.
With an SS ferrule you can get a pipe joiner, work out soldering SS to copper. I wouldn't recommend flour paste on this part myself, as the weight of the whole column is held at that join and you need some mechanical strength. Also, I have had success in the past with flaring the end of the pipe slightly, and hammering the ferrule in.
Good luck with it :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yes solder on a SS ferrule.IMHO There's no way in hell that flour past will support that structure on its own
EDIT : woops Sorry Brendon ,we posted together ,I need to type faster :))
