Lol.came out of my old still at 90% (which you water down to desired %), but I used to keep a wee hip flask of the full strength and put it in my pocket when I went to the pub. Amazing how long you can make one handle of Coke last;)

I couldnt work in that heat, anything over 7 & Im in shorts & shirt sleeves - I never complain about the cold (love it) but I choose to make the workshop more temperate so my hands dont stick to the spanners

Oh my. That does look interesting.
As luck would have it I set up the welder for 316SS earlier this year (for the free-diving death contraption). A still would be a tempting sidetrack indeed.
Damn it! Why is it that when you have the tools, skill and money to do the things you have always wanted to you simply don't have the time!

I do, mine is less.pretty, than that one. I have an old beer keg with an old copper plate flipped upside down soldered to the main reflux pipe which goes up to and offset head. I was pestered to make a bokabob or whatever those inline ones are called rather than offset but the bit of copper fit offset and was an old $10 one off trademe that used to fill a toilet. The cooling coil is 3/8 tubing I got cheap and is supplied by a cheap trademe aquarium pump that recirculates water while I dump icepacks in it every now and again to keep the temp consistent or switch it out if I run out.
Haven't made anything for a bit but depending on how hot I ran and what packing anything from a 40% nice whiskey deep in the hearts to 90% firewater that you could run the car on lol

pollymay, that sounds a fair bit like my set-up, rocking the fish-pond pump, except i went for a full stainless steel build, even took it to the engineers to purge weld the whole lot, looks stunning and produces some lovely stuff, why does everyone use elements now-days, i'm a diehard gas lover (camping stove modified to boil the keg)
