I managed to score about 2m of 2" copper tube (for free!
), 6m of 1/2" tube, a coil of 1/4" tube, Half a coil of 3/8 tube, a old copper hot water cylinder (figured it would be good to cut up and use for bit's and bob's), a old roughly made lieberg, some condensor mandrel's and a new gas torch!I have pretty much made my mind up to make a boka. Was thinking of 1m colom (before a section containing plate's), 200mm condensor and useing a keg as a boiler.
Does this seem like a reasonable plan??
Also, what effect doe's the spacing between the plate's on a boka have? I noticed the template's say 1/4" (from memory) but have seen other build's ie; Pickluk's useing up to 3/4"??
Depending on left over material's I will make myself a new pot still head as well.
I have a few question's relating to sourcing material's in New Zealand;
1) Where can I source 100% copper or stainless pot scrubber's?
2)Where is a good place to find lead free solder?? Most place's I have been to seem to give me a funny look and say they have never stocked it)
3) What alternative's are there for the nice looking copper threaded fitting's I have seen on a lot of still's on HD?
Sorry for all the question's, just want to make sure I build it right first time!
Thank's
