Has any one made a T500 column?

I think the beauty of the airstill is that, for stripping runs, as long as you use conditioner and ceramics or copper offcuts in the pot and have de-gassed the wash, then you can leave it on a timer and let it do its own thing.

I still like my little droid for stripping runs or recycling past-their-best or disappointing wines.

I agree with you.. I never bother with the conditioner or degassing though.

I was hoping to copy the T500 head? Is it very hard ?

What, like the copper domed lid and matching leibig condenser ?

Cos the normal T500 column is a reflux design and what with moulded plastic parts and a few other bits, making one that's looks the same wouldn't be easy.

Though, there's plenty of designs for reflux columns that you can make.

The alembic head would probably call for panel-beating skills?

Metal spinning?

Ever watched those boys at their art?
Pretty impressive. I'd not be too good at it as I'd be stopping often to do a finger count......

Yes. Plastic bits aside, I like the simple design and the positive feedback. Just wondered if someone had cloned it in a shed.
