Thought i should introduce myself while my fermenters are going after being on the site a while and poaching a bunch of info and ideas, great site, thanks!
Heres a couple pics of my homemade very amature column, all parts scrounged and done quickly on last gasps of oxy. I plan to solder on a couple of bushes to interchange from reflux to pot still operation when i find more gas.
the condeser is a 3/4 inch coldfinger with 3/8 single coil back round, 1100mm column, about 300mm coil length. I plan on shortening the take off, 1/2 inch is probally too big i realise.
I debate the savings from buying alcohol considering the time and initial expense involved, but certainly enjoy the craft and making something worth drinking.
cheers!
