Replacement air still glassware

Postby Mash » Thu Aug 25, 2016 7:42 pm

My nasty plastic receiving containers have finally given up the ghost.

Can anyone recommend a good replacement?

I simply followed YHB, and for the Smart Still have always used the 500ml vinegar bottles from lidl or Aldi,they cost about 23p, contain a useful product when bought,have a screw cap and fit neatly under the outlet of the still.
For unattended strips a large pyrex jug is my way to go,- surprisingly cheap in charity shops.

Robert thanks. It needs to get under and be big enough to do unattended.

Pyrex jug from charity shop works. I prefer glass as it works well with the glass parrot and webcam.

I could of course anyways araldite the old one..

Borosilicate glass - lovely stuff.

I have several bits from them - the 2l low form beaker is a perfect fit with either the plastic spout or the StillDragon parrot.

Nice one. Will work very well with a glass parrot and the webcam.

No, that's one thing they don't do. My 400ml beakers fit in these though - the 400mls are perfect for collecting heads and tails now I've got my kale wash pretty much predictable.
