I malted 10kg's of barely and malted 3kg's of rye and made it in May 2023 Wow... the last time I did my own malting was around 2016...

My first attempt at bottle labels the girls in the house have offered to have a look today and the labels should be tidied up a little.

Years ago I made my own small BD burner and it's still going today :thumbup: for heatup I run about 5 psi and drop it down to 3 psi for the run. Now I did find when I ran the sweet mash of the Gladfield Peat malt even after dropping the psi the puke made it's way to the third plate so I had to back ...

Scored a colour laser printer at auction for $12.50 and the picture really didn't show the size of it as it does weigh 50kg's. Anyway finally unloaded and set it up in my shed and it works purfect so now playing around making bottle labels.

One idea would be cut the top larger then peen it into a shallow dome shape with a soft hammer, not only will it give the top more rigidity it will also work harden the copper to make that much stronger. Also say a 2" riser tri-clamped could serve as fill port which will let you solder the lid ...
