Tedd - some of the terms you use are a little peculiar. Are you running them through a translation engine? I ask, because maybe something has been mistranslated and misunderstood?

The more I read this post, the more I see wrong.
Starting with the most obvious, why sit a copper alembic in a salt rich water bath.
The salt will corrode the copper.

"Copper pipes corroded by salt water will start to turn a greenish blue color. Over time, the copper will become brittle and eventually flake or peel, leading to pipe bursts or cracks. Copper pipe alloys have good resistance to corrosion by seawater due to the inherent cathodic nobility of the metal and copper’s ability to form a protective passive film. However, high velocity and turbulent flow conditions can remove these films and permit local, rapid corrosion"

Duly noted D4D. Most of the time I re-articulate the majority of what I’d like to say. I have a lot respect for you and any other member here willing to learn.
I don’t like the smell of BS and I calls it as I see’s it. I’m no expert and I’m not always right and I expect to be called out whenever I’m squeezing some out.
This isn’t a bundt cake forum. I’m prone to having a drink and speaking my mind. If I’m in the wrong I trust I’ll be throttled by the admins.
Wasn’t talking to you in particular. I had to look up Bundt cake….

It’s not all about me?!? :sarcasm:

Bundt cakes are delicious. There’s the classic chocolate cake with white icing. But venture to try a lemon cake with a nice cream cheese frosting or an orange cake with icing. Pop it in the microwave or toaster oven for a quick minute and dunk it into your Irish coffee that’s the shizznittle right there.

Touché JS.
I’ve got a fair amount of aged SBBAMR on glass and more roosting in the barrel. I think I could spare a small smackerel to make me some rum cake.
Thank you for the inspiration my friend.
