You're making good progress. Keep us updated you busy bee :bz
You'll need standoff brackets with the 4" condensor to support the weight too mate. They are a hefty bit of gear (especially the 1m long ones).

Is anyone running a 4" x 1m condenser yet?
I've sold three, but none to a member here.
This is one with a 2" x 510mm for scale.

I will build a stand for a 4" monster dragon chiller, most likely... @grim - Citrus Distillers has one that was in this video starring @Smaug

Next Video.... Cleaning after the first run and improving cooling flow:

And the latest video I shot today after getting the automation hooked up....

Thanks for the video updates @CothermanDistilling
Cheers,
Mech.
Anyone want with artistic ability want to draw a 380L and crystal dragon, I just need a 960x600 .png file... here is my dash1 drawing:
and the same drawing in action:
Give @Law_Of_Ohms a pm mate, he probably already has one.

Cool @CothermanDistilling is that off you BCS program?

yes, it pretty much automates warm up, water management and shutdown.. everything but dephleg flow and cuts.. I do need to make a new program for pumped water and for using a three phase contactor for warm up along with 2 SSR elements that continue into the run.
@CothermanDistilling What is the program logic C+, ladder or unix? and do you just modify a shell program or do need to create from scratch? Also the PID function does it have auto cal and how tune-able are the parameters? Also what about PWM. Thanks sorry to bombard you but I don't know anyone currently using one.

It is a hardware embeded cpu with analog/digital IO and ethernet interface. It has a built in webserver, and a web gui to configure a state machine, and also has a capability of ladder logic that works good for things like latching contactors/e-stops.
The pics above are from the Human-Machine Interface(HMI) that runs on javascript
Here is the GUI for configuration of each of the states I used on a dash1:
and the ladder logic configuration screen
@CothermanDistilling Nice little program, thank you for overview.

Here is the manufacturer's page.
Great post @CothermanDistilling =D>
Ok, first automated run, must have been only 4% or less, 75 gal only gave 6 gal of 40%

just read @CothermanDistilling request for a drawing from the 6th.

like! I will load it up and make sure to show it in action in the next video.
I friend just built a 30 bbl brewery, I got the trial batch with no hops.. we messed up the math, and loaded 4 totes bent the axle when pulling out of his drive... I straightened it up and just took 2 at a time..
How are you guys accounting for taxes?
Awkward question prize :))

not fermented yet, so no alcohol moving.... but if it were, it is called a bonded transfer, the reports have spots for it.
Stranahan's started the same way....
CopperWorks in Seattle does the same. It is pure-distillation and storage facility. Their heat source is Seattle Steam (nearby) and wort from two breweries within a mile. It explains how they were able to spend more on the stills (without the other equipment).
I was going to mention them too... how do they transfer? I was thinking an old military 'water buffalo' trailer woudl be a cool way... they are actually in the same building as the steam plant, and steam is included in the rent...
Steam is, of course, all piped into the buildings in the area. The steam plant is right on the waterfront as is CopperWorks. I have never seen the wort delivered, but next time I'm there I will ask how it's done. The breweries, while somewhat close, are definitely not within piping distance.
