Looking for a still maker in Christchurch
Does anyone here know of anyone in Christchurch who can build me a reflux column to bolt onto my still?
Good coppersmith
If I'd live in that part of the world (bad luck I'm on the opposite ) OldDog would be my favorite coppersmith.
He has the time, knowledge and patience and what I've seen so long is pure copper art.

Think the post is dear from OZ to NZ never the less.
Trample the injured and hurdle the dead.
Re: Looking for a still maker in Christchurch
The cost of postage would be more than the value of the still. Plus what do you put on the outgoing customs declaration?,
perhaps Kiwi knows someone in NZ who can help, after all it's legal there.

Re: Looking for a still maker in Christchurch
I got my setup made and shipped from oz. it was dear.
Rednose, we're about 5000km from olddogs legendary production facilities unfortunately. long way from anywhere here, it's the most isolated country in the world
there was a chch member who was in the auto industry and made himself up a boka and such, he might be able to help, I'll see if I can find his user name.

I would have thought there would be plenty of still builders in NZ as its legal.
Perhaps there could be a coarse on Still Building and Distillation, at your local technical college

Re: Looking for a still maker in Christchurch
maybe you need to come and teach it? I could do the distillation part but the building is my weakness
