You're a bit slow mate, time was right up there in my list :))

Time - effort - patience - dedication = reward

:teasing-tease:

Another vote right here. Brilliantly documented build! Two build motivated me for starting mine, Bushys & Brendans.
Well done on an excellent build with tonnes of pics!

:text-+1: :handgestures-thumbupleft: looking forward to it. We need a new botm :D

Just thought i'd post up this video.

It's from my latest apple run, and I thought for beginners and those who don't have bubblers/plated columns and like to watch them :D , it shows how quickly the plates start to load once the column is filled with vapour and it hits the reflux condenser.

The video shows the top plate in a 6 plate configuration,and you can see when it pans down to the second top plate that the window is all foggy, but as the vapours sort themselves out and the plate begins to load, you can see the glass start to clear up :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I might be under-powering my still by the looks of that Brendan. Them some bubbles!

That's only at 2700W :shifty:

Maybe I'm overpowering it? That is the top plate in full reflux though, the other plates aren't as full...

I'll take a video of mine when I get my electrics sorted and show you what mine looks like.

Much less 'aggressive'(for lack of a better word) bubbles.. but mine is a bubble cap, maybe that suppresses the bubbles? :think:

Congrats brendan on the "botm" well deserved and beautiful rig :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheers mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Excellent work Brendan, what a beautiful piece of kit...........................well done. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

So, even Brendans build of the month takes three months. Who's next ?

We're working on it, Bushy :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Amazing read mate, I take my hat off to you as I have no skills whatever in metal working! Super impressive work!

Spent the last 3hrs reading the whole thread. ^:)^
What an awesome build thread and also unreal and :music-deathmetal: job.
I'm hoping my still when I have ago or get 1 built is even have as good as this.
Would love to view this in person being a newbie it would be a great experience for me. :clap: :text-coolphotos: ^:)^

Awesome thread. Now that its been a while since you built it - is there anything you would change?

Cheers,

Rohan

The name of the thread?

No one else has been game enough to attempt to forecast a finishing date prior to starting to build. This build is one of the best and most well documented build threads on this forum. The 6 weeks name was adventurous but the result was fantastic.

Was meaning to disrespect to the quality of the thread or the builder or even the time frame it was completed in. I just wondered with it done and now being run is there anything spec wise that was worth changing?

Nice build. Very well documented and great craftsmanship. Cheer's
