Re: Ebay Australia still - look good?
i am pretty sure they are only a water jacket on the main colum and will not give very good reflux.
not sure but, ask the builder for more pictures of the build process to ensure you getting something good.........
a boka would be the best easy to build still.... whats your location?

It's a CM olddog.
TBH It's reasonably cheap for a purchased still, but won't perform all that well, and there are the control issues... you would be better off building a boka inline and buying a hundred kgs of sugar or so

There's only two solder joints in a Bokabob, must be one of the easiest builds, the coil winding would be the only hard bit for a noobie.

Just do a search for Ëasy Flange" you will find the instructions to make one, then use a tri clamp to attach to the keg.

Re: Ebay Australia still - look good?
Quite honestly, I have never heard of anyone being disappointed with the performance of their Bokakob dual slant plate reflux column... Also haven't heard of anyone having construction problems... If you can't solder the plates and take off port into place, or wind a coil, you probably know someone who can...

It will be a 2.5 inch SS boka head which you can adapt to any tube you have on hand with 2" or 2.5" copper or SS, it will come with the adapters as well.
