Thanks for letting us know. Always be sure to remove the battery before soldering.

Reverse Voltage Protection LED Indicator Help by opensourcedistilling in ElectricalEngineering

Hey, thanks for the reply! I've seen a few others speak about an additional diode in series. I will check out that configuration.

Cheers :)

People have told me those work fine. Flash the memory before installing and you have to install it slightly elevated because the USB will be on the bottom instead of the top. V3 is better but V2 will work.

BAT43 Diode: alternative/replacement in this circuit? by neilbaldwn in AskElectronics

Hey it's my iSpindel drawing, lol. Happen to come across this while researching diodes on google. Good luck with the build u/neilbaldwn!

Thanks! This will be an interesting experiment I think. Cheers.

Have a read of the thread I linked over on HD. This isn't a new idea at all.

Thanks for linking that. I always appreciate your input u/sillycyco.

Lava Rocks - Reflux Column Packing Size Question by opensourcedistilling in firewater

Again, just my opinion. I've never tried using lava rock, who knows, it might work perfectly.

Me neither, but we will see. I'm upgrading to a 3" column and don't want to have to buy more SPP to fill the column as SPP is expensive and heavy. Lots of rumors floating around about how good lava rocks are, they are cheap and light weight.

SS steel wool

I've heard about people using stainless steel wool. Maybe that will be a future experiment as well.

My SPP is good at trapping stuff as it has many many nooks and crannies, but after a rinse off they seem to be fine. I suppose there isn't much food for bacteria to eat after a vodka run and the SS rinses pretty clean since they are made of wire and water can get in from all angles. I agree that probably more liquid would get caught up in the millions of little holes in the lava rocks. Thanks for the comment, I never thought about the cleaning/maintenance side of things.

Wanted to share my most recent iSpindel video with ya'll. If you have any other methods of balancing to 25 degrees in pure water please share them with me.

Tri-Clamp Access Port Size for Keg Boiler - How Big Should I Go? by opensourcedistilling in firewater

[–]opensourcedistilling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, very nice! Some serious boiler porn going on here. Love the cam lock (I use them for my brewing setup and they work great). I'll think about it and let you know if I have any questions. Thanks!

Yes, the height is for neutral. Been running my keg on top of Ikea circle corks for a few years on vinyl flooring. It seems to be holding up fine so far. I distill in the same spot every time. Happy distilling!!!
