I would keep a few 4' lengths in case I was to go for a 2" column for whatever reason, a few odd shorter lengths for a couple of pot still risers and a lye arms, three of the bends...and sell the rest at 1/2 new price or less...the cheaper it is the quicker it will go.

Or, keep it all if you have the space and the time!

I'm sure we could come up with a design to work with!
Or, you could always bring it by my place and I'd be happy to store it for you :ewink:

Finish your 3 inch boka get used to running it and then go from there.
My Grandpa used to say. Don't argue with an idiot, because he will just drag you down to his level then beat you with experience.
He also used to say. I didn't say it was your fault. I just said that I was blaming you.

Yep :thumbup:

And when you enjoy the fruits of your labour with a good drop from your boka...you might consider using some of that nice copper for a VM build :idea: ?

your a very lucky man. I wish I had that type of problem.build a pot still for stripping then use that in the boka
if you cant build a paper airplane, then leave the rocket alone.
its like wiping before you poop, dont make sense.

Actually I was just kidding. I heard someone looking on there and wondered if it was you! I don't think I'm quite ready for that large of a boiler yet. I'm working with an 8 gallon boiler and usually run a 6 gallon batch. That seems to work for me. . for now.
