Since I've had to mention it several times I figured it was time to stop procrastinating and get down and make the changes to my methanol recovery webpage. That is now done, but seeing as I am using the same condenser and only the pot has changed I've linked to the older version from the new page so that tha parts list can still be easily accessible.

Those who have bookmarked the page will not have to change anythig as the URL stays the same.
This is the new page. It is pretty simple, a 50Lt watr heater who's plumbing has been removed and replaced with black iron. Th e ilet is 3/4" as opposed to the old system's 1/2". This makes for quicker loading. A nice addition, and one that I didn't do, would be a T fitting at the top so that a venting valve (ball valve?)could be installed to vent the pot while filling it so it doesn't gurgled back out the top. I just have to be careful when filling it so it doesn't do that, but a vent would eliminate the potential.

Legal Eagle,
What kind if container is your recovered Methanol going into. I couldn't see in your pictures.
Thanks,
Woodie

I use 20 Lt carboys that are vented. I run the condenser tube down into the carboy and once I'm done I tighten down the cap. I can usually get 2-3 batches run before I have to empty it ito my dedicated drum for recovered methanol.

Thanks for the quick response, I just purchased your soap making and business guide. Both are great, Imight have some questions for you once I get started.

Thank you for your support. Email support is included, so if you need it it's there.
