Only dolly steps with progress but I worked the weekend , I've soldered up the drain pipes. And scored a fire extinguisher so I grabbed some other stuff to make a herms setup. I've got 6m of 1/2 copper any opinions on whether I should do a single or double coil? :think:

Nice mate have you put the cuts in the tube yet? Mine is pretty much the same a works a treat. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Not yet 1 2 wasn't sure whether to do cuts or drill holes I plan on doing corn mashes I have got some staino gauze at my disposal as well courtesy of Linny. :text-thankyoublue: any input would be great as I'm winging it abit atm. :text-lol:

by **1 2many** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 6:36 pm

I would do cuts BigD less risk of a blockage, but then I never tried it with holes.

by **BIG D** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 6:44 pm

I was thinking cuts and if that gives me a drama maybe a gauze false bottom over the drain tubes? 1 2 have you mashed corn in yours?

by **1 2many** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 6:46 pm

This is mine I only soldered the ends together so i could pull it apart and clean it, so the tubes are free but when you run it you turn the slots down.

would also build a base with castors so it can all stay together :)

No Mate no corn yet.... I have only used it for beer and that was over ten years ago but I might dust her off and give it a go with corn. :think:
