The idea is that you adjust it with the legs so it sits snugly up against the head. so everything come through the bots.

No above the vapour trail, just so you can put the
lid on proper. So 6inch or so!

Would have to be a very shallow one for it to sit above the liquid?

Put some legs on it,3, use Ebay S.S.m2 or M3 studding
nuts and washers to suit.

So I’ve done the taste test... Overpowering cardamom flavour. I think it may be due to using cardamom seeds rather than pods. 1/2 a tsp (heaped) must be the equivalent of quite a few pods. I could just about get juniper under it but not much else. I’ll still be drinking it though! Overall I’m quite pleased just need to get the mix right.

Quick question: if using a colander how / where do you support it from?

why?

I think the taste test will perhaps get you increasing yours bots and then the problems will start. S'not big enough. But I am biased

1. Its to small to get the amount of bot I want
to do a 2 or 3 ltr run.
2. I have had debris in the condenser which could
cause a blockage and big problems.
I dont think it was a very well thought out addition
to the AS.
Measure the diameter of the As buy a colander that fits
buy some thin rods and make a Sputnik its safer and
bigger and much better, I know made same mistake.
You can always get out of things by paying and this
is not a lot £10??? spent on the bay.

Just used it fir the first time today and I’m quite impressed. I added 1/2 the peel from a satsuma. 1/2tsp cardamom seeds. 1tsp coriander seeds. 1tbsp juniper berries and a small wedge of lemon. Hardly filled the tray at all. It stayed in place and the spirit is quite pungent even after watering down. I’ll by giving it a test drive tonight. It smells much more authentic than the little bottles of essence though.

yup, and they are a bit small - we have thought there is a chance of bunging up the coil.

Whats your thoughts?
