Show Us Your Dragon

Double your pleasure? or Double trouble! :-?

CothermanDistilling

looks nicely balanced!

Sunshine

@captainshooch wow! Two ears, two eyes, two boobs, two...well everything has to be in pairs, in case something goes wrong. I see, you understand the principle of nature! :-?

punkin

cool, how does it run like that?

Smaug

Ok that is a fierce looking two headed dragon.

grim

That's pretty fun, I wonder if you can use a technique like that to stack and trap the heads fractions.

Have one column with the dephlegmator, no parrot. Run one side in 100% reflux for a good while, very deep liquid depths, when ready, switch over to the alternate column to run.

captainshooch

@punkin sort of like dancing on a wire with both ends on fire =))
It's really hard to get em both running at same speed, ProCaps (on the right) want to overrun the Standard caps (on the left). Set this up to compare the product profile for each set of caps. I could not tell any diference. But it sure was a chore making it run.

captainshooch

@grim I'm sure you could with some king of valve to stack one column then switch to the other one for hearts, then back to the first for tails. Can be done.

captainshooch

@Sunshine even the two elements are both on DIY kits just in case one takes a dump but so far all is well. My head hurts, I need a break from the shed =))

Drunkas

@captainshooch bloody show off :))

captainshooch

@Drunkas I am a very dedicated person, love my hobby seriously, =)) =))

captainshooch

Guess I'm gonna catch more grief from @Drunkas for showing this, but I have to, It is going to be the Baby's new set up. I can't wait to set it up

Drunkas

I love your work mate I am just a jealous bugger who's not up to your level yet
:D

So it didn't taste like E85 then? =))

captainshooch

Our in house testing facility confirms that assumption @punkin :D

captainshooch

Fuel plant permit holders are not allowed to send off samples for any testing....fucked up laws eh! It must all be done "in house".WTF?

Drunkas

Just trying to keep up with captainshooch with my swan

Sadi

This one is showing most parts that I have but I set it up in different ways for runs other than neutral

Cheers

Grip

Yup @Ak49er absolutely spot on!

Thanks for all the kind comments - but really it's down to Lloyd and his team. All I did was screw the bits together and replace the red and blue plastic with chrome plated copper pipe. The best thing of all is that the spirit it produces is being incredibly well received by such prestigious shops as Whole Food Market and Harvey Nichols (an up-market department store in UK)

Lloyd

Wasn't me or SD team @Grip. You did everything.
We only helped with the parts that you ordered.
But thanks for saying so.

Truth is we are less than half, the best half comes from people like you that take it all the extra mile.

Smaug

Indeed. Its is true that really good spirits can be made with a few cobbled together parts. This guy Nate at 2bar Distillery is proof of that because his rig is a cobbled together LM contraption with a hilarious looking plate chiller for a product condenser. But the guy has demand that he can not keep up with,,,,,, mostly cuz his rig is slow but that is another matter. He has demand and that counts for something.

It is the distiller that makes the good product, not the machine.

I have mentioned a few times that of all the rum samples I have tasted at the Miami Renaissance Rum Festival, the rum from the big fancy European still was my least favorite. Not because the still was flawed in any way. But rather the distiller was not mindful and it seemed he was collecting very deep into tails to the point where the fabled rum oils were simply just translating as tailsy rum.

SDeurope

Bump!

Myles

That is nice. All you need now is an expanded foam insert so you can pack the modular components for transport inside the boiler.

Talk about a gift pack! Who wouldn't want that as a present?

CothermanDistilling

pick n pluck foam...

Moonshine

You wake up in the middle of the night, it's so hot and sweaty, gotta touch some stainless to cool down! :x

punkin

One of my customers just sent me these pics of his 5" Dash 2 Promodel. The boiler is 200l, perfectly sized.

Sweet setup for sure.

Kapea

I like the kWh readout. Is it for each run, or continuous?

FloridaCracker

Your customer pisses me off for a number of reasons :D

punkin

I'm assuming that's what he's putting into each of his 4800 watt elements (or 2 out the three of them anyway).
