Greetings from California

Post by O'Mahony »

Evening Gents,

I have been a visitor here for a few months and have very much enjoyed the reading both here and the parent site. My first thought is to thank the membership who's knowledge and energy makes this forum so great. So,..... thank you.

I bring nothing to this forum but enthusiasm , but hope to be able to contribute any way I can. I am currently finishing up on a Boka build that I will photograph and post. My Boka choice consists of a 2” copper column that is 45” tall utilizing a 3”x2” reducer turned up into the 3” x15” condenser w/ 12” coil section with a cold finger. This assembly I intend to mount on a Mile High 13 gallon milk can (when they are back in stock) and utilize a natural gas burner heat source.

I can't ever seem to leave well enough alone, so I am going to try out a couple of small modifications to the original design. I have used 3/8” copper for the condenser coil inside the 3” housing in lieu of 1/4” coil. Also, modified the overflow back into the column, so........... we'll see. Copper and I are old friends, spent many years as a fitter. I've also a lifetime of drinking experience (smile) and of that, many years of discriminating consumption. Cheers, O'Mahony
