Did anyone else watch C/File tonight?

It showed a pair of farmers who had an incredibly shiny copper and steel still with all the bells and whistles, in which they made gin.

They plan on using it as a smokery too.

Try to catch it on iPlayer or whatever they call these things nowadays. It was super shiny!

yep watched it last night. Very nice setup, and a simple contoller as well :party:
Interesting distilate stack as well as a nice copper.

They said they started as essential oil producers and wanted to use the still for something else the rest of the year.

His method of filling the water tank made me laugh though, I would have thought he could have afforded a simple 12V water pump

You mean when he fetched it from the spring in the field?

Yep, manually filling a 100Gal container :whistle:

Oh yes, on that quad bike thingy.

You'd have thought he'd have given Juliet Bradbury a ride, wouldn't you? I would have.
