Might need to reinforce it or put the still mount near the outside where there be more support from the side walls.

What was the max volume? (You don't always need to run to the max of you boiler)

Realistically faaaar too big for a hobby boiler though, I'd scrap it and build an 80L stainless keg boiler with the proceeds.

2 questions for anyone who can help, firstly what would be the way to go for powering this beast? Too big to run on gas? And if I were to go electric how many elements and what sort of power? Or go hillbilly style and run it on a wood fire? That would be cheaper but would be shit in summer time
Second, all the spigots on it look like they're brazed on. Do I need to worry about lead?
