Now that is flash.........

That is just not only practical but I would call it art........ Looks like a lot of work went into that.

Cheers,

Chris

Yeah it's a thing of beauty alright, hope mine turns out half as nice.

Those sight glasses look awesome too, it's the only part of my build I dont have sorted yet.

Cheers.

I worked on the theory of a 4-6 inch gap between plates, and each plate being a point of reflux. The dephlagmater is also a point of reflux, so it was built with this in mind. It could work just as well with the plates at the bottom of the column, I don't know, it just seemed a logical place to place them.

Old dog is definetaly HD's Jessie James, he makes the prettiest flutes in the distilling world. I've been a member here for a year or 2, and love pictures of copper art work, Old dog and Condensificator, and Still crazy are some of the best. Mud

Almost forgot, you too Kentucky Shinner.

Very, Very Nice. Might I ask if you bought or made the sight glasses? Any close up pictures of them?

P.S. What does the inside of your dephlegmator consist of, is it just a coil? If so how tight of a coil? Thanks.

Rest assured, when I get into it, I will not stop...

It's so purdy, it'd almost be a shame to fire it up and get it all tarnished.

Your just teasing now.

I am having a read of the compleat distiller. I'm trying to work out what sort of still you have. Does it just to use plates instead of packing and in principle is a compound still? or is it a variant of the Coffey patent? why does it have sight glasses?

I didn't realise you could laquer it, is it safe to do so? because that's what I would want if I went copper, keep it shiny.
