It was sealed luckily.
I've released the pressure and taken the spigot out.
There was even a little cider left in there.
Now to get on and clean her up.

I’d brighten & alodine the outside of that bad boy. Looks like a legend ready to be born. Good find.
🎱 The struggle is real and this rabbit hole just got interesting.
Per a conversation I had with Mr. Jay Gibbs regarding white oak barrel staves: “…you gotta get it burning good.”

Copper, all the way.
Given your building skills, copper lends itself to modular flexibility, not to mention its magical powers in removing sulphur compounds.
Plus, copper looks cool.

Re: Free Keg
Yes me, just scored these two beauts for free.
I'm thinking boiler and thumper.
Re: Free Keg
Looks perfect for a rum style double thumper ala Jamaica or Demerara. I've had some good whiskey from some double thumpers too.

Does the liebig on the copper pot head have enough knock down power? Vapor dont escape?

Re: Free Keg
Need to make a RC , i'm waiting for some tri clamps to arrive to complete set up.
How long would you make the RC chaps ?
At the moment the top of the column past the "T" is about 450mm but i could cut it back.
Thanks for reading

Re: Free Keg
you'll need a ladder to operate that CCVM.
Might be handier to have it as a CM or LM so you don't need to go up and down the ladder, reckon that will get old quick
