What do you want for Christmas?

Just a bit of fun, but what distillation related products are at the top of your Christmas wishlist? Give links if you can!

Bit boring but I'd probably go for bottles:

And these might be good to store undistilled wash:

Although what I would really like, you can't buy:

The Capt has done a fine job on that one, looks ace!

I would like some fabrication skills to turn the 120ltr copper boiler I have been given (for free!) into a nice big pot still.

Been practicing my riveting, and I am a verified metal butcher :P

A more realistic pressie would be some big 23L glass DJs for storage.

A T500.

Some demijohns

An extension, so I can make the brewing room of my dreams.

I'll second that one - when I had the SmartStill the kitchen was fine, but trying to fit a T500 column in the sink to rinse it through is a challenge, not to mention trying to manhandle the T500 boiler onto the draining board to empty it out... so please Santa, bring me a new house with a utility room/scullery/built in garage with plumbing if it's not too much trouble!

i dont really know!!...lol, im only 8mths in with my SS and everytime i goto the HB shop - the same T500 is staring at me saying "take me home" :o

i think realisticaly, an essencia filter as cash flow aint good, but owning a landrover as well, its tough balancing the hobbies and resisting the chunky treads :)

merry Xmas all and happy new year if I dont post again before!!!

For Christmas I would like the UK Government to make home distillation legal

Wishing everyone the very best for Christmas and the New Year.

she's justback from a short jaunt to england
bringing loads of wee pots of allinsons yeast

so
each wee yellow tub shouts poitin at me
so
i've cheered up considerably


happy festive etcs

Well the postie delivered an unexpected pressie today - a small bottle of single malt from a fellow distiller - aged 6 months on toasted oak.
Absolutely gorgeous - Will definitely be trying all grain brewing in the new year.
