Now for the water works...
1000lit recycle tank/rainwater
3 speed pump(discussed on earlier forums) with voltage/speed reg... not really needed as slowest speed seems to knock it all down.

Leibig.jpg

300mm ss riser/attachment Tig welded to T500 lid...
Column...1000mm x 3'' copper
Leibig is 1200mm overall, with 250mm (top & bottom) x 1'', centre is 1.5''... over 1/2'' internal.
Both sections have twisted wire for turbulence.
Wall mounted bracket holds the column in position to avoid excess weight onto the crappy T500 lid. It just lifts up and off when needed.

Top is obviously the brainy part of the deal... VM/LM Combo... ( LM is the cup type...not slant plate.)
Two centring rings are tucked away, hopefully in the right spots.
Middle... well... the (not so) humble T500.
And, (last pic), we all need a bird.
Finally...nearly, the RC is in a 500mm col, a double wound 400mm long (6mm and 8mm tube) onto a 1'' coldfinger. Bit proud of my winding skills but couldnt be stuffed pulling it out for a pic...(hole in top also)
NOW...FINALLY... I can not stress with enough passion and highest regard for all who have helped along this journey...
The largest and most sincere thankyou to all the great supporters and contributors on this site that have got me out of the shit so many times answering all of the most obvious and dumb questions...really appreciate it..
this IS a magnificent community...
Cheers Ken.
Not insulated yet, nor packed fully...still 'playing' with dials.

Looks awesome man, looks good with the 3" on top.

I found with my lid it can handle the weight , its more the 'sway' from tall objects that can affect it. Brackets are a good idea.

Will be waiting to see what she can pull on low wines, i bet it will be a lot with that packing length :D
