I would like to underline that some materials aren't considered safe to have contact with our product, but as over half of my Liebig is brass..it justifies the headline.
So for the new members in here...please read about safety and appropriate materials if in doubt.
It's been a long time since i made a build and i wouldn't really need a new Liebig, but i couldn't turn a good offer down..who says no to free materials..?
Total length is 1150 mm, outershell accounts for 930 mm.
With those dimensions, i think it will be the last Liebig i'll ever need. Plenty of cooling even on a fast strippingrun on my potstill.
