If you know someone with a torch or oxy set them its pretty easy...

Hmmm i like the sound of this.
I found this on another thread viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10181. Would this be suitable? Looks easy enough to make

I run a t500 too and made pretty much the same as this. Bought a boiler lid adapter from 5Star and it works fine. Haven’t tried making gin though. My Liebig is quite long so it does need support as the t500 boiler lids are pretty flimsy.

Did you make it yourself? Am i better off using your dimensions? What are the benifits of yours compared to the one i posted?
Thanks in advance.

I’m definitely no expert on these being a newbie myself. Other more experienced guys would have more of an idea. I just figured anything bigger than a 3/4” water jacket for a Liebig would be too heavy. If I was going 2” I’d make a shotgun condenser where you wouldn’t need the length. But as I said, I’m definitely no expert. Mine works for me. It’s easy to build.
