Hello!

Post by ironshiner »

First post after 5 years reading, a couple dozen 5 gallon batches of birdwatchers, and a two+ year covid break.

A friend got a small reflux column and five gallon keg for a gift, gave it to me, and said figure it out.

Didn't take long to realize some scrap copper, soldering, and a little thinking could be a huge improvement.

Built myself a packed reflux column. 2" copper, total, about 8 feet tall. Even got crazy and spent way too much time and effort soldering a shotgun condenser. Much faster, much higher proof. Much more pride.




I rarely drink, purely a science experiment hobby to share with friends.

Getting ready to try teddy's ffv, first attempt at anything other than birdwatchers.
