Re: Just Post a Pick of your Rig
Received a Boswell 13.2Gal / 50L still for my birthday in August. Swapped the supplied stainless lines with 3/4" copper, added a 4 gallon "milk jug" thumper, and used an old stainless pot for a little bit larger condenser. Using city water for cooling so I used an old 6" inline fan and adapted the biggest(and nicest looking) motorcycle radiator off Amazon to help cool the water. My last run was multiple stripping runs and a spirit run- took all day and water didn't get above 80 degrees in the 50 gal rain barrel. (Outside temps at mid 70's). Regrets: my union's off the thumper- should have reversed one so I can easily eliminate the thumper if needed will address. Mods coming up next: bigger condenser with 1/2 instead of 3/8 line.... Let me know your thoughts and questions - the radiator mod was something I found a lot of people talking about but hadn't seen it done yet!! Any feedback good bad or otherwise I'll take!!!
Always under construction!!

Good mods CK.
Since you already have a big fan and you're running outside, you could try your hand at an air cooled condenser instead of the worm?
When stripping, you don't want the thumper inline, so yeah you need to change that fitting to suit but that's an easy fix.

I would definitely get rid of that silicone hose off of the parrot.

My 3 inch boka set up for a neutral run.
Re: Just Post a Pick of your Rig
Only the water barrels stay outside. The rig is sanitised before each run and after its dried it's locked back up

I love the little mini jack for the jar stand! (Your rig is pretty killer too. )

Re: Just Post a Pick of your Rig
Ah thanks. I found that on Amazon. Stainless
Steel Lab Jack Scissor Stand Platform (4" x 4") it was $13.54. I had been putting anything I could find to jack up my catch jars. Not a problem any more.
