You all realise that I will now have to ask twice as many questions?
My vids will be detailed, entertaining and frequent!

Errr... yeah!!!!!! Seriously I took so much 'shine to Xmas dinner (and all the family know I still) and they hoovered back my McStill's kahlua and my banana and my peach daiquiri ... At sometime in the arvo my wife said "hey you should check if you won that "still thing" you've been crapping on about"....
And when she saw me dancin and a yelling she realised I had!!!! I spent the afternoon telling the family as they punched back my shots and my daiquiris "...if you think this is good....WAIT until next year!!!"

Congrats mate & well deserved IMHO :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I guess you and Mr E will need to get in touch with each other to sort out transport of your new rig, and I'll get in touch once I'm back and get the sight glasses and clamps to you.
Cheers.

Thanks McStill, I hope your Xmas flight turned out ok...makes us all grateful for friends and family. I'm ready to fund the courier/postage whenever the generous folk here are ready to post it.
I'm kinda looking forward to a video doco of this whole process, l'll set up a YouTube channel to share the journey with the very generous folk from this forum.

Thanks again to all the members who have offered bits for the Xmas still. I've made a donation to the Salvos Christmas Appeal and I've been in touch with the incredibly generous MR-E who has advised me there's no way that his heavy "mongrel" column will fit on the cheap, thin electric boiler that came with my Ultra reflux still as it would squash it! I guess that means it's time to start researching kegs and electric VS gas, so I'll be posting in the boiler section soon enough.
Oh and how cool is it to be told that you're getting so much copper still coming your way that it could literally crush something? ^:)^ ^:)^
Anyway, if you're one of the generous folk who've contributed, then thanks and please PM me so I can start working on figuring out costs for postage from around this damned fine country of ours.

Congratulations BackyardBrewer. Just out of curiosity what does a still like that weigh?
