Successful Air Cooled Coil!

Many like to post about a first successful ferment (or first all grain mash), or first still built/bought or first good run of the still. Tell us about all of these great times here.

Where I live the government spent a lot of money putting a pipeline into Melbourne taking irrigation water from farmers to allow three million city voters to wash their cars. It didn't help as they got the arse anyway. :)

I run a potstill with a coil in bucket very slowly and a forty litre run uses about two or three litres of water. I reuse the water to wash the car windows or onto the garden. It seems almost the same as air cooling.
Don't forget, those voters have to be able to press the "little flush" button on the dunny every time they piss. Whats wrong with the garden??
Thats right, just rememered, they dont have them anymore.

I got my bucket and coil doing about 20 litres for a batch now. Not air cooled, but I'd use that much water washing and cleaning stuff anyway.
You design it, I make it. Copper and Stainless. Down under. PM me.
