I'm pretty well set on building one of pintoshine's 6 gallon Kentucky pot stills. That has me on the hunt for sheet copper and I haven't found any in country yet. So I might have to ship some in. I looked at getting some from the states and the shipping doubles the cost Shipping might be less dear from Europe, still waiting on a qoute. Looking at European sheet copper the upside is 0.9mm is a bit thicker than 20 gauge, works out to 35 mil or a bit over 26 oz's per square foot.
The big question is, on a 1000mm X 1000mm sheet has anyone been able to lay out the 6 gallon pot still minus the flake stand. It looks like it should be enough material. But I'd rather not come up short and order another sheet and wait several more weeks for it to arrive so if I need to order 2 sheets, so be it.
