in Introduction

Hi all, I am a active nz distiller with a few years experience. I did the turbo/essence thing then I found HD and UJSM and then the fun really started.

I usually experiment with UJSM Bourbon sourmash type washes

Here is my experience with Punkin and SD products

about a year ago my i bought off punkin a pot shot with long condenser, While his service was great there was a tiny pinhole leak in the long condenser and punkin immediately offered to replace the defective part at his cost and refund any shipping. I didn't take him up on his offer as it was a easy fix , and I had a wash to run.

I am looking to add to the potshot to make it into a dash type 4 plated column when funds allow.

Why I really like my SD pot shot 1- it cost less than the price off buying the materials for a DIY potstill 2- being modular I can add to it as money allows 3- time It strips a wash fast -easy to do a run after work and still be sociable to the family.

what I don't like 1- the push fit connectors weep when hot as I cant get the right size plastic tube for the cooling lines locally, if buying a SD condenser add a few metres of the SD coolant lines to your order it will save you a lot of greif and shopping around.

I always keep an eye on punkinsbrew hope for another sale on a dash and for the exchange rates to be favourable.

I think its great you have a SD focused forum now and I look forward to sharing.

    Welcome, 211.
    The guy in charge of testing all the condensers was taken out back and beaten. Since then quality has improved.

    Glad you are here.

    Give me a yell when you are ready for an upgrade 211, you may be suprised at the deal i can do. Especially if paypal is left out of the equation (bit hard from NZ i know).

    Thanks for the kind words. That is the first ever condensor to leak world wide as far as i know since we went into full production and moved away from the prototypes.

    @211 rvworldstore.co.nz/ sell 12mm John Guest pipe. $4.50 a meter. Can get red and Blue. Its a little stiffer than the quick connect set I got from punkin but works ok. They charged me $10 for shipping so $38.00 for 8 meters total.

    thanks salientlucidity, that's Ideal it is going to look a lot tidier than the shocking plumbing I have going on at the moment.

    If you go to a caravan place you should get it cheaper than that.

    Sorted it punkin, googled the brand name & found a distributor nearer auckland now I have realised I have had the inserts that go inside the tubing missing from my setup so that's why they collapse when things heat up. he knew his stuff says they sell a lot for beer kegging setups etc so a small order is no problem. no more dribbly pushfits :D/ now I can finally get a water recycler tank sorted out
