Lol, nah it’s just an infrastructure detail that I can’t share.

Super excited to get her cranking. I’m worried that 1/2" tube between the receiving flask and keg won’t be able to keep up with the flow lol

I love field-fabbing this stuff. It’s so much more fun than actually running the equipment IMO

Can’t wait to throw away the rotovap portion at some point when we can’t generate nearly enough vapor to feed the condensers

I did one or two of the tricky welds, I have a guy I’ve been training up that did most of it. I like to train pipe welders on stuff that won’t kill you if it breaks lol
