Hey Dogbreath!
I purchased my SS boiler locally, I ran a Add in my local On line
Buy and sell/swap.
I received a reply after about two weeks and ended up paying 250.00 for the drum.
A SS drum just sold on Ebay for just over 200.00 bucks + shipping.
Finding a SS drum is not going to be easy to do for that price, you really have to get out there and look. If I run across one I will send yea a heads up.
Just a tip, open yea up a Fed Ex account than when you do find one say on Ebay you can save a bunch of money and supply your own shipping. To ship a Drum in the lower 48 with a Fed Ex account runs about 60.00 Bucks.

Thanks for the head's up on the http://www.amphora-society.com/ web site. I've ordered their books, but forgot we are gutting our US Dollar. I should have bought the ones I could locally. Their $25 book cost me $40. I think 2 of the 3 were available via Amazon.com. In any event I'm looking forward to reading their books. If I like their ideas I'll have to consider their still, but their $400 is nearly $650 USD. Damn Fed & Congress for permitting their existence! But that's a different rant ;) -Erik

Hi!
Thanks for telling me about Amphora. I'm looking forward to hearing what everyone on this site has to say. I made a 'farming' folder and an 'energy' folder in my web favorites, and I'm getting great sources of information. It's a lot to mull over. It's really encouraging.
I think it'd be hilarious to start with day-old doughnuts for my ethanol. I'm going to be living in Fayetteville, NC. Surely there is plenty bakery throw-away fuel in a town that big. Even if it's just enough for my own car for starters, maybe I'll recoup the price of the equipment in 6 or 7 months, then start paying pennies per gallon, then I'm DOING IT. Then I can show a banker or a venture capitalist that it's working on a small scale, explain the next steps, and see if somebody would like to get a return on their investment by loaning money to me or buying shares in my business.
I don't know....smaller might be funner. Help individuals set up their own stills and make an income through consulting small groups. Maybe come up with a better still.
The thought that I can drive my beautiful Lincoln Town Car, which I adore, and put inexpensive fuel in it makes me very happy. I love that car. People give me a rash telling me it's a gas guzzler--which it isn't--it gets 18/22.5--and I'd like to come back, just once, with, "I pay a buck fifty a gallon." Sweet...
Take it easy. Maggie

Bought the books offered at the Amphora-Society web site. Also ended up buying the PDA-1 still with extension. Been pleased so far, although only getting started.

Roger-Doger, Dogbreath. Will let you know how the PDA-1 seems to be shaping up after getting a few batches through it and once I have some kind of a feel for it. Looking forward to hearing how your mods to the Charles803 go. Talk to you later -- Erik

regular is 90 pence a litre at the moment, that`s 6 dollars a gallon. 22 pence a litre is what you are paying. We are taxed 48 pence a litre!!

Hiya Dogbreath,

I've done a few stripping runs. I don't yet have enough low wine that I feel I'm ready for the final run. The first two stripping runs were literally on beer. My dad had a batch of "bad" home brew beer. So we stripped them, and we are working on stripping the results of making two batches of beer from a couple different "turbo" yeasts.

You can see what we've done at my web site, but I haven't yet had time to update the site with the last stripping run:

Keep in touch and let me know how your net trial goes!
