3 weeks :-0

3 weeks since my last post, where does the time go ! Well, the last conical has been calibrated using the usual food dye treated water method, a torch, and a dark room (see pic) and the polycarbonate lid has been drilled and fitted. I've not had chance to wet test the cooling circuits but that should be done some time this week. I also measured the displacement volume of my smaller 2 circuit IC for more accurate volumes in my equipment on Beersmith by using the highly technical 'how much water will spill from a full bucket' technique...lol. I've ordered some 'punches' so I can custom make silicone seals for the conical nut/bolt combo and also for the chiller and port options on the lid...wish they were here so I can crack on!
