Figured a link to Everlasting Gasket is appropriate . Back 15 years ago , the concept of buying tri-clamp stuff of online shops was not common . Folk would flare their Copper and make a gasket to fit . One advantage of tue everlasting gasket is you can make it any thickness you want to get the clam...

First things first.
Within 6 months you'll be upgrading stills
That's ok.
Learn in what you got.
Be creative.
Maple ferments are a bigger.
Watch the ph.
Keep temps up
Keep in touch

Anneal if you want.
But it's not necessary.
Just go slow.
A little at a time

I have a 15.5g keg and a 7.5g keg thumper running on electric. Today it was charged with about 8g of clear mash and the thumper with about 2g of murky corn meal from the bottom of the fermenter. I set this up in a cold garage last night and it sat overnight to run today. During heat up, I got norma...

I've been working on my still.
Been a few years out of service.
I wanted to clean my condenser.
I got to thinking
I got a range rod for a .50 muzzleloader
It's got a cleaning jag on it.
Works a charm for scrubbing.
Give it a try

Never thought this thread would go this far

There white
They must be ok if for dairy.
Been using them for 5-6 years and I ain't dead yet

Are they proper triclamp gaskets or something else?

Dunno.
Just what I can get local

Mine are not totally flat.
But they work
Dunno.
If it works it works I guess

No. Never had an issue I do tighten the clamp down tight though Usually they leak cause of not being level. After rolling,a quick sanding to level out the mating surface takes care of that What are you using for gaskets? I get em at a local dairy supply store. There white They must be ok if for dai...

Hello there

He grew up in my neck of the woods.
It was nice to read him reminiscing about the old times

I did mine with a wooden clamp jig I made, and a ball pein hammer. It works well but it's s noisy! The hardness of my 2.5" would have definitely needed annealing if I tried the suggested way, but if I ever need to do another flange I'll try it, nice one duke. When you roll the lip your only ta...

I don't see much of value here. I do! I get exactly what he is doing. Great idea. Heat the end 3/8 of the tubing till dull red, let it cool and that modified wrench can be used to turn a flange for making a tri clamp connection. It would work without annealing the copper but annealing it will make ...

I can't figure how to post more pics

Make your own flange quickly
No welding Use the crack ground into the wrench to roll out the metal.
When you get it shaped hammer it level and a lite sanding on a flat surface will square it up.
Easy peasy.15 minute job
