Thanks for uploading👌 I've built my own still recently from a 50lt keg and 2" column, I purged all my pipes before welding.

[@milehidistilling1]

Nice, Marvin! Hope it's turned out nice for you. Good job on back purging everything.

Where would the copper packing go in this unit?

[@milehidistilling1]

Usually in the Traditional Head

Wonder why they don’t use filler when welding? Not a welder here but usually see it being used when TIG

[@milehidistilling1]

@webcrawler3332 we do on some things for sure. It's generally used here to fuse weld two different metals together, like copper to stainless or for some hard to reach welds.
