Some new goodies on the way from StillDragon

Postby Anavrin » Wed Feb 25, 2015 10:58 pm

Oh dear

And I mean dear in the expensive sense! But only cos I wasn't planning on paying for it all just yet.

Michael at StillDragon will have a smile on his face, I've been looking to get a dephlegmator for ages but also wanted to start building a baby crystal dragon, I decided to place 2 orders, one for all the small bits I wanted including 3 crystal dragon plates and another for the two expensive bits, the crystal dragon end plates and the dephlegmator, this one would be on my credit card (never never lol) any way they don't take VISA! Only MasterCard and I'd already paid the first lot and it's useless without the second order, so I had to use a bank card again! Hope my wife to be never finds out how much I've spent!!!

It's only money anyway I guess and I'm looking forward my new setup, it'll be my 2-4-2 torpedo with standard bubble caps with a 3 plate baby crystal dragon on top before a 2 inch 510mm packed section, I'll let you guys know how I get on once it's up and running, still 2-3 washes away from enough strip for a spirit run but I'll be on double batches so I can play with my new toys sooner :-)

The baby crystal dragon end plates are the killer so far as the cost goes, to make one section it costs more than a 4inch bubble tee, but the beauty of the crystal dragons is additional sections are cheap in comparison to to adding additional dash sections, for an additional baby crystal dragon section it's just under £30 delivered :-)

Thank you for your order, @Anavrin. @Sunshine just made me aware of your posting here after I've already sent you an e-mail about how to handle your two orders.

I don't know what you mean with "they don't take VISA, only Mastercard", because when paying with PayPal it only depends on the cards you register with your PayPal account. Of course PayPal supports both VISA and Mastercard, as well as other payment sources like debit from a bank account, you just have to look at the possible options in your PayPal account.

We'll process your two orders right away, refund the more in shipping and send it all in one parcel.

Hi Guys

Big thanks to SDEurope, got to be an international record for delivery :)

I've added a 3 plate baby crystal dragon, a 510mm stainless section for packing and a big baby dephlagmator, it's now a 4 plate Hybrid CM/LM/VM, Boka top can easily be removed to make it a standard CM or the dephlagmator cooling can be switched off for LM/VM mode with the Boka fitted.

This rig is just awesome! ;D
I am happy, that everything worked out so fast and smooth!


You know, that you are probably the very first person on earth, who uses this combination?

I am serious!

Hi Sunshine

I have a little theory about how to seperate heads using both reflux coils, maybe I'll be the first to get it to work :)

It basically involves controlling the cooling and forcing the column to a spectic temp at the takeoff, if I can hold it steady at a degree or two below the boiling point of ethanol, only vapours with a lower boiling point will pass the dephlagmator and be condensed/collected by the boka slant plates.

If it works, it will hold back the hearts and only remove heads, will find out soon enough :)

Anavarin,You are leaving the old Moonshiners behind,but I am loving the dartboard on the wall.
