Hey anyone have a good way to fix the panda spouts they keep breaking on us? Just s quick fix to get some of these to work a little longer. Thanks
yep. there’s two posted here. both in “tricks of the trade”.
I don’t recommend the “panda in a mash-tun”.
no instructions on this one: just a 1k word substitute

of course you could buy a fuge that was actually designed for and rated for the task at hand. eg acespinner.com

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for!
Edit. The panda fix. Lol can’t justify spending that much. Washer machine would be my next upgrade maybe? Haha trying to get by to upgrade other things we deem more important. Haha panda works well

Broke at the screw inlet hole, so I Cut up a silicone mat to form a gasket, then further sealed with waterproof chemical rated epoxy, then… flex tape.
Super temp fix I’m gonna install a steel plate on the front and drill a new hole so I can mount a metal spout.

Not the prettiest fix, but it works for the pandas with completely broken spouts.
U need the lid in there or else the panda will drown.
I was at home depot and I needed the panda used that day. This works and has been working for 5 or 6 runs now. I save the new pandas for the fine filtering, all the broken ones are used for biomass

Sketchy af with the motor sitting above all the ethanol

This was my fix. the trick is to get the bulkhead as low in the capture bowl as possible to keep from creating a high lip inside that will pool ethanol. I also tilt it slightly to help it drain.

a stainless brew kettle bulkhead fitting and spout will be better than pvc like i did
looks steampunk AF lol 
edit: If you ever end up swaping out the copper for stainless, id recommend a bulkhead fitting like this
you shouldnt have to use silicone on it

Coppers pretty and easy to work with
Regret i bought a White panda ( bought one of each) but had to pay like 430$ to get them to europe lol)
i was certain it would be stainless on the inside but its painted aswell, wont ethanol dissolve that slowly?
I ran the white ones no problem.
@Badcookieextracts has it now.
