Hi
I'm starting to scout out places to purchase the essential copper parts i need to completely modify my T500 into a reflux/pot still. Damn plastic has pissed me off for the last time with its leak.
Im planing on cutting the original column about 2 inches from the base and making a flange so i can attach a copper column with a reflux coil that can be bypassed if needed and just run as a pot still. Thanks for the idea Rumdidlyum.
Im starting to look for 2" copper pipe and bends and have come across a thread mentioning http://www.unitedmetals.com.au/ (United Scrap Metal Traders). Im unsure if i should go new or scrap metal. Price is always an issue but safety comes first. I cant remember if i saw in an earlier thread where someone was against scrap metal (might have been MacStill) as it could be contaminated and bad for distillation products for drinking.
Can someone guide me on whether I can go scrap metal traders or if i should go all new parts?
Thank you
