New still

[Copperhead57]

I just went from propane to electric on my 15 gallon still l haven't run it yet because my wash is still working . Anyway a friend of mine has a 30 gallon all copper still with a Thumper he had it for a couple years and he knows nothing about moonshine. So I ask him if he wanted to sell it. I about fell out when he said $250.00 it is also has a heating element in it and I just built a controller for my other still. I'm so excited to run it when my wash is ready . Can't hardly wait.

It happened paid for it right then. I'll post pics when I go get it and shine it up.

Got my$250.00 still today. Done a viniger run on it. I'm going to lower the element and put a column on it . Going to shine it up after that is done. I can't figure out how to post pics.

Well done . I rotated the pic for you as that can be a whole new level of pain at first .

But hey , very nice setup . Is it soldered . Looks like Solder on that Thumper ? Might pay to get yourself a Lead test kit and test that Solder . might be OK …. But you need to deal with it if it is Lead solder.

[Copperhead57]

Thank you. Yah it's solder. I know the guy who built it its safe.

That's a hell of a deal for the price. You couldn't even buy the copper for 250. Cheer's

You got that right TB.

[Twisted Brick]

SWEET deal.

I don’t remember seeing that much copper in a member’s kit!

[Swedish Pride]

Wow, that's some deal, delighted for ya!

Thumper looks on the small side for the boiler, maybe you can repousse your keg as the thumper.

Lovely patina on it, don't forget a cleaning run on it, who knows how long it's been sitting
