Why do you need any, it's got copper saddles already in, all you need are boil enhancers

I came across this thread on HD, maybe of interest to some folk

Hi VT I read somewhere pennies were still nessesary in the boiler to stop it over boiling I bought my T500 second hand and the top of the column seems to be packed with small copper saddles and the rest of it with stainless steel ones, loose in the box were half a dozen ceramic things that look like teeth I'm assuming there should be more of these?

Maybe I am real bad, and when I die will burn in hell forever, but that link showed me the dark side where I do not want to be.

And Pennies make great boil pieces.
Lots of stuff makes boil pieces in the boiler, why not use copper?
And have the edge?.....

This refers to grainfather boiler (essentially same as T500 boiler until now in this context) and alembic pot condenser so is not totally relevant, but it's nice to see still spirits discussing heads and tails, double distills etc

There is a pretty comprehensive user manual. The rest is up to you ! I don't buy the still spirits turbo yeast, Alcotech 48 is better. Check out this on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wd-Oan4NmQ video also.

You could use marbles as biol thingys
I was given a nice sized bag of old
pennies by father in law, about
3 shillings 6pence worth, so I use
them
