I have the 5 gallon with thumper. Get a copper or corrugated stainless steel extension pipe and get the condenser off the still - leaving it on the still is counter-productive as the condenser will take heat from the still. That makes it harder to maintain high temperature in your still and low temperature in your condenser.
Thanks for posting this video brother, I’ve just been given a similar still as a gift and I’m keen to get it up and running but need to work out the do’s and don’t’s before I get it going so I’m gleaning information from every possible source. Thanks again for sharing and happy brewing. 👍🥃
Having just constructed mine, a few mods. I like the video. Important points mentioned. Engineering is not perfect, manual sucks but there you go for 60 quid a bargain.
I don't know either... Can you take it to a hardware store and look in different areas? Or maybe the manufacturer could tell you? Thread matching has never been easy for me
How does it work for distilling just water? My stove is far from my sink. Do you need to run water through the coils to get water through it or will the copper melt or what?
You could try it outside on a propane stove, and then use a garden hose as your water supply. Or you could go buy some PVC pipe and/or plastic tubing to run the water from the sink and back to the sink. It'll still water really well... You just need to keep those copper coils cold.
Do you think you could make a rockwool jacket for it? Like a toaster cubby. Something to insulate the main pot so it all goes up an out faster. Im thinking sew a nomex bag and then stuff with rockwool.
That's not how we do it on this channel. I like to go through things and explain as I go for those who don't have a manual, or maybe have parts they want to put together... Or put together differently to make it better. And many have already written in the comments about how they've improved the design. That's the spirit of this channel. I hope you can understand and are able to find peace with it.
Maybe you should read the title of the video before making a lame comment about it. “Unboxing” generally means you are seeing something for the first time. Just a thought.
Could barely recognize you. Is that a three- or four-week growth on the chin? You should be watching all of those silver surfaces before use. they them have manufacturing oils.

Good thinking. I will play with the set up for sure.
I agree completely. I ditched the condenser and made a bigger one. Fixed all my problems.

Glad to help! Let me know what questions you have along the way
Does it worth it to make distill water, to consume gas or electricity or even a beverage, won't be chipper to buy them from store?
You're right. Unless it's a survival situation.

I agree!
bought the larger version recently, extended tubing to move condenser, don't know what thread they supply but unable to match it in Oz

Looks like it’d be easy to add stuff. Thinking i need one soon
They're good fun for sure
bought mine, had no instructions at all, and it really does not explain how to put it togeather. thanks for this.
@@NorthOf60Gaming you're welcome... I'm glad you're getting it running!

Can this machine do it by pyrolysis ?
Adding fire underneath as your heat source?
what I would like to know is how long does it take to distill a full tank of water?
Figure an ounce every minute... It would take maybe a couple hours for a gallon.
Lots of energy involved keeping it hot and cooling it off...

So!yuo did interesting video-))
I think so
Maybe you should read the manual before filming a whole video about you trying to figure out how something probably works. Just a thought.

@Junkyard Dog yeah that David fool can't even read the title of the video 😄
@@AedanBlackheart 👍😀
Help me out a here 😂
What else do you need help with?

Just electric with glass top

Good thoughts. That's a year's growth 😆
Not very thorough !
Care to elaborate?
@@soyourwifewantsyoutomissing the rest of the still?
@@BackwoodsOutlaw I got one without a thumper
