Hi everyone. Newby here but looking forward to the journey. I thought with all the knowledge that gathers here, somebody may be able to help me.
My elder brother passed away from NHL 12 months ago and left me a Turbo 500 boiler with a copper Pure Distilling column. After 12 months of just sitting there, I'm wanting to pull it all apart and give it a good clean. Trouble is I can't undo the brass nut that separates the column from the boiler lid. Looks like its seized. I'm wondering what best practice would be. Soak it for ages in a more condensed acitic solution and see if that unfreezes it, use heat with map gas, or use a fluid like Inox to try and loosen it. Maybe someone has a better idea. I don't want to try anything yet until I get the best solution. Cheers everyone.
