I am from Iran. You make art. Besides copper, I use a combination alloy of copper and zinc (70% copper - 30% zinc), which is called brass. Because it has more resistance. Of course, I also use copper, especially in the condenser. Good Luck
Copper may not be the most practical but it is definitely the most pretty. The stainless fittings makes it all work out just fine! Well done. Please please stop pushing mason jars in the vapor line. It only takes one alcohol vapor fire to kill someone.
@@robertfontaine3650 thank you, cleaning and overall upkeep is definitely more challenging overall. But much nicer to look at. One looks like art where the stainless rigs are more factory manufactured. As far as the jars are concerned. Every system has a pressure relief valve that pops off at 5psi. A still rarely reaches that. But if the system happens to get clogged the safety valve is in place. I have yet to hear of any issues with jar rigs outside of people dropping them. But if I find that it’s creating a consistent safety problem. I’ll certainly stop offering them. As of now, all seems fine :)
@@copperstillco When you make preserves occasionally a jar will crack when you boil it. These are not safety glass. When a jar cracks with alcohol steam and you are working on the still the best case is first degree steam burns the worst case is an alcohol vapor fire. There are plenty of safe ways of making gin baskets and bubblers. This is absolutely not one of them.
@@robertfontaine3650 if you’re able, send me some info. I’m interested in looking at some other options. Are you connected to my Facebook or TikTok ? How could we connect ?
@@copperstillco I'm not much of a welder so I use sanitary spool; 3" short tee with a sight glass. I'm sure you can braze or tig up a nice copper piece using an 3" sight glass that would sell very well with your other sexy pieces. Sight glass polycarbonate is very thick. I will grab some pictures this weekend when I am out in the shed.
Beautiful set-up 💯🇺🇲
Damn Y'all. That's a a hell of a still!
