Re: Sour smell

You can get a lacto infection that will make it smell sour, for now I wouldn't worry about it too much, if it is there it is there and you can't get it out. It may go away in a few days, it may stay till you run it. I see people actually infect their ferments on purpose, I reckon just go with it and...

Re: Nixon Stone traits

An easy way to see it done is to lengthen the out put tube and then cut a couple of holes in a bit of hose and ram it through then tape it up :) You aren't suggesting a PVC hose and some tape as a fix, are you..???

Re: how to handle back pressure

That sounds like a real problem, what do you have bolted on top of it? Is the column (?) clear? Is it packed? Is the packing to tight? Do you have anything else that could be restricting vapour flow? You really do need to help us help you because this can be a very serious problem.

Hmm, Chinese are allowed to drink Scotch are they not?

That statement seemed akin to saying "The Chinese are breathing all of our air."

Rule 7 I believe, if this was going to go any further would be in direct contradiction?
