Well, there are plenty of guys that read a little on distilling, then head out the shed and start knocking something up, grabbing the stick of lead solder they are used to working with. On other sites I have seen guys that have made shotgun condensors (or more rightly known as tube and case heat exchangers- at least in my branch of the metal fab industry) before they have even fermented something.
I don't feel its out of place to suggest it to anyone that lead free solder should be used.
I'll pretend your not being an ass.
I have made shotgun condensors with BSP nipples (cut in half) welded directly to the case, with 15% silver solder, and I don't break them off doing them up. I have broken this style fitting done with soft solder. And if one does use hard solder, it should be of the cadmium free type.

The idea is to keep threads clean and on topic.
If other threads become too off topic, then the clutter will be moved to here. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
