Hi
I have been a brazer for over 7 yrs (working with silver wire and steel tubues)and thought that I would try and build a still head for a small still for redistilling of brandy.
What wire would work best.
For torch what works good? (I allwas used two torches to heat parts up to hand braze)
Thanks for any help given

Re: silver wire
I think brazing and soldering are two differnt things not a plumer.
I just dont want to use the wrong wire
And i use a much higher heat than what is reqired some one must have a prefence.

Re: silver wire
Preferably silver/tin or copper/tin without other metals/minerals added. Have seen 'lead free' solders with antimony or selinium added. May be safe for drinking water but, how does it react with hot alcohol vapors?
It is the very things that we think we know, that keep us from learning what we should know.

Ok
Thanks for the reply, do you have a prefernce for torch heads?
Would like to try a water jacket pot still for redistilling some brandy.
Thanks agian

I just stumbled across your post.
If you're still looking for an answer on brazing filler, let me know. I'm a CWI, with tons of soldering, brazing, braze-welding, & welding experience.
