You don't have to keep your still in the box it came in. I just sit mine on the
My still room is my garage - when I'm getting the push bike out the garage door is open to the street so everything gets put away...

But WTF would you care? You are dead...

Yes mate but I want to be cremated in my shed
Trouble is they would have to evacuate the house
next door and put the local Trumpton on stand-by.

I bought a pack of coriander seeds today, while planting them I thought "these look very similar to the ones in 1kg bag of coriander seed I use in the gin"
bugger bugger bugger bugger bugger
Similar here.
Have some Coriander sprouted from a £1'ish maybe 300 seed pack.
I have a kilo and a half of seed bought for gin and chutney last year, for less than a fiver!
Feckity,feckity,feck.
Will sow some today.
With my current BIR taste love affair that I have going on, despite thinking that coriander tastes like parsley that the cats have wazzed on, I am using lots of the stuff.
Robert.

Did a strip run today on 130 litres of Rum wash.
Everything started OK but a few minutes in I got a distinctive smell.
Walked round the corner from the sink where I was doing some cleaning and what did I see?
F*kin hell - steam coming out of my condenser!!!
I had not "checked" the coolant flow. Turned off the gas, put on the big extractor fan, and quickly checked all the coolant compression fittings.
It turns out that there was a knackered washer on one of the flexible tap connectors. Replaced in a few minutes, heat back on - and I only lost a minimal amount of product.
Could have been worse.

Ever hopeful.

These things always creep up on the best of us. I don't like those autostop connecters at all...they have a mind of there own.

Just once in a while I smell unwanted smells from the still room.
Usually due to not tightening down enough on connections.
I try to learn from my mistakes.

He's been doing it forever, so my head autocorrects Gaza.
Although I'd assumed that due to talk of wifey and nursey rather than knowing orientation.
I always thought gaza's orientation was reclined.

So solly, you cannae smoke clackers peas.
And that is as far into racist humour as I will go.
Times have moved on.
And you of all people have a reason to wake up and smell the coffee.
