Still waiting for my SPP's from Odin. Ordered em 10 weeks ago so I emailed iStill for an update, auto response email says they are in the USA. So much for customer care. In the meantime I have tried vino-tinto's idea of packing the T500 with one copper scrubber and the rest with stainless steel scrubbers. From a 25 litre wash I discarded the first 250 ml (after a 20 min reflux) my total spirit takeoff was around 2.5 litres at 93%.
Question ? How much good stuff should one expect from a 25 litre wash?

Fcuking bugs/virus's picked mine up from work.

Good news on the Brewhouse then...I had to fit a new tap to my beer HLT last year...must admit I don't like these plastic taps on this 500 boiler...might change it this week as I'm still off work....

Almost finished, should be up and running next week, I've had a tummy bug for the past few days.
The drain tap got itself blocked with those tiny ceramic saddles, so I'm going to fit a new 1/2" tap. I have to file/drill to make the new tap fit though

Good luck with your build.

Thank you for your input. Fortunately my garden tap has an anti syphon device built in so no worries John.

Electrics sorted today and just a couple of hours in the morning to finish the insulation. Then the plumbing and shelving, It should be finished next week if no problems arise

Brew house has arrived! Custom made...12" taller than a standard shed.
Now it's time to configure the layout, water supply, electrics etc.

Spent the afternoon spraying the inside with water repellent just in case of spillage as I'm clumsy at times. (bloody arthritis)

Know how you feel Fuf...I ordered a new shed for the allotment, I asked for a Friday delivery..."oh yes no problem" they said.

so I placed the order on that, they delivered on the Tue.. What's wrong with them???? why can't they just do what they say.

Brassed off beyond belief! No Brewhouse yet as they fcuked with the order! Custom build 8'x6' but 1' taller than the standard shed and they have to rebuild. So, next week before it arrives.
SWMBO is on the warpath...... I give up ...
But, next week the brewhouse will be built

For what it's worth, I also 'recycle'/'up-cycle'/whatever the current word is nowadays the water from the T500 even though I am not on metered water. It's just a shameful waste to me.

So I will do all sorts of jobs with the hot water such as cleaning floors thoroughly and, lately, using the hot water to help break down paper to pulp for compressed paper fire logs - which works a treat. The waste water from the pulp then goes into my garden.

So the moral of the story is (I s'pose) is if you have to pay (extra) for your water, make it work more than the once.
