Gives a whole new twist to the concept of Transformers.

In fact you could have it with a twist. Right out of the fruit basket.

Of course for years pre-70's the old plastic dustbin converted into a mash tun, and the spaghetti pot a wort boiler, never thought of the copper coil wort chiller as a fruit basket before -- might be hard to convince anyone of that!

Don't think it's a wort chiller, VTS. It's part of the condenser for distilling moonshine liquor. I understand they used to do a lot of that in NeoTech's Sweden, but " hembränt" has rather gone out of fashion now. Still (no pun intended) goes on in rural Norway, I understand.

I knew that -- I've distilled ethanol as part of a grant funded alternative fuel research project . And was once a home brewer, way back before it was so easy.   Just joking that the "transformer" idea isn't exactly new.  :thumbup:

NeoTech:
Well moonshine distilling or making "Hembränt" is still quite common.. most of us doing it though is hesitant of reselling it to other people these days because of new laws that can put you in jail for 3 years... Alcohol above 65% is considered a narcotic.. and well a open reflux column produces somewhere near 94% pure alcohol..

This still was just funny though.. minus the cooling coil / fruitbasket i cant see how law enforcement could crackdown on its configuration.. in parts.. ;D
