Nice looking VM. Shiny!
Interesting that you chose to run the condensers in parallel instead of in series. Kind of hard to balance cooling water flows that way, isn't it?
I didn't balance water - both are running full on.... the valve was used to control reflux. In reality though the valve wasn't needed.. if you are fine with heads being super compressed just run a 180 straight into a condensor.
BTW it's wrapped in 1" insulation now if that is of interest to anyone. and thats how i stop the spp falling out.. - 3" of tighly wrapped copper mesh - iirc about 2metres worth. the mesh alone was about £40!iirc
there is also a few hundred mls of copper SPP and about 500ml of SS SPP leftover.

I'm more like I am now than I was before.
