They also sent progress pictures which was really cool. I had never imported anything before and that was an experience in itself! I used a ...

Re: Changing domain owner soon

Check out namesilo.com

The registrar I used to use kept silently raising prices so I started looking around and discovered namesilo... Several years and no issues. If you're keeping the same DNS servers you/we shouldn't experience any down time.

Re: Windy City reflux rig

Awesome!! Looks great! How would the gin basket loop work? Won't the vapors condense on the way back up to the product condenser and fall back into the basket? I originally had this on a still that had three side columns. When starting up the Carter head you have some heat loss and get some condens...

I would buy a shirt.. Maybe a service like teespring.com would be a good idea, where the chosen design could be applied to a selection of goods.

If I was starting from scratch I would definitely spend money on a bigger boiler with a nice triclamp lid, probably from milehi or brewhaus, buy the stainless tri clamp stuff for the column separately and build my own shotgun condenser(s). I got an 8 gallon dual purpose package from mile hi and it'...
