Really really good Brian, real artisan stuff. You could put that on your mantlepiece and see if anyone ever identifies it. LOL

In answer to your questions

1) ?? It depends on the strength of the spirits ?? - But if you are asking about the size of the Glass Cover then you can run the parrot with the glass in place for spirits over 40%, anything less than that you will need to take the cover off - or wait till I go to Tesco's this week and find a taller jar.

2) 75ml

3) Priceless

My Parrot

2012-03-01T21:12:10+00:00

I havn’t posted much recently, primarily because I have been waiting to change homes before I assembled the still, but a slight hiccup with the legal people means I will have to wait a bit longer, so this is a mini project that I did in the meantime to stop me being bored.

Having time on my hand I wanted to build something that did not cost much.

I have always fancied having a go at beaten copper work, so I decided to have a go.

I took 60mm (3”) of 20mm (3/4”) pipe split it , flattened it and then hammered it into this shape.

I took another 60mm (3”) of 20mm (3/4”) pipe split it , flattened it and this time made this one.

Soldered the two together to come up with this

And then made two of them, added a few other bits of pipe and came up with this – a "Distillers Parrot" made without a single bought fitting. All the pipe came from surplus bits and pieces but if you wanted to buy them they would cost less than 5 pounds..
