Wow I read that and was shocked ... glad to hear you're hanging about YHB .. I think it safe to say both you and all of your good advice would be sorely missed!

Best of luck if it does all come off !

Re-reading my post I think I owe you an explanation, the post was done in a bit of a rush- sorry. I am not packing up the hobby just going into another phase.

Yes I could be moving on. A couple of days ago, someone I have worked for before ago tracked me down and wants me to go and work on a project for him - that's good.

The project is for a few years and in a country that is a bit more watchful about people making booze and one that I would not like to try and import my still into - that's bad.

Even if I took my still with me it would not work because the cold water that comes out of the taps is hot and would be no good in a condenser - thats bad.

Water is expensive - bad

Electric is very very cheap - good

I have had a notion to build an all electric still for some time, now I have the perfect opportunity and the time to do it - very good.

The move is not cast in stone yet, but if it happens it is going to happen quickly and I was just feeling the water to see if anyone was interested.

I will still be able to keep in touch with the forum, I have already set up a VPN so I can bypass the censors and the moral police and have complete anonymity on the net.

Sorry if I caused concern - you cannot get rid of me that easily.

Still & gear for sale.

2013-07-27T07:44:34+00:00

It looks like I’ll be moving on, I cannot take my still and associated equipment with me so it will probably be for sale in a few weeks.

Wooden clad stainless boiler, with pressure relief valve.

2 “ reflux column with a triple layer coil and backwash line for cleaning, packed with stainless steel scrubbers that will produce 95-96% all day long.

Pot still operation for stripping etc, turn a handle and use the Bokabob LM head for compressing and removing the heads. The needle valve will take off anything from 1 drip per second to 1.1/2 litres per hour. Once the Heads have gone turn the handle and use the VM proportional splitting head to take off the hearts very cleanly with no tails.

1m product lieberg (22mm over 15mm) on the Pot / VM take off . 0.4m lieberg cooler on the LM take off.

Two temperature probes two digital thermometers and one temperature controller for fermenter.

25 litre heated fermenter

Power controller etc etc.

If you are interested drop me a PM.
