5 plate flute build

StumpJuice195 · Post by **StumpJuice195** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 7:48 am

First off let may say I really enjoyed this build. After getting my plates cut and drilled I laid this project to the side for some time. Then I figured I had too much time already in it to stop so I decided to finish it. I have more pictures but they're on my computer now and it's much easier to upload from my phone. Let me know what y'all think of it. I must give credit to you guys. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Awesome pics man!

I had no idea that's how you make those saddle joints for the sight glasses.

Thanks for the positive input. I didn't really keep up with my time in it but if I had to guess I would say 30- 40 hrs.

Brother from a different mother!

i got to respect you more because at least you took more pictures, i tip my hat also with the hammered out flanges and sight glass portals.

i made a 5 plate 4 inch flute...for last several runs i pulled the bottom plate just to try and get more flavor...I may go to 3 plates soon...

a lot of sweat ... but what pride when you look at what you made and how well it serves its purpose. and as most flute players will attest... how much time you can save getting your spiritual extracts.

Rock on man! Thanks for sharing

I don't mind if this one strips all the flavor. I've got a pot still head for my keg also. On runs where I want flavor I'll just switch them out. That's my thinking anyway. Thanks for you positive feedback.

with 5 plates on a 13 gallon can running 1 4500 watt element pretty hard, and holding it back with the deflegamater for good stacking i was easily pulling 91-92 % straight through. very neutral.and the hearts were not smeared into any other part by much at all. clean cuttin, less waste. especially less wasted time watching the drip drip drip...

you done any drinkable runs yet?
