== Available (or soon to be available) Setups ==
Note: All equipment is made from lab grade borosilicate glass
=== Noise Tower "Little John" ===
* 3L 5 neck round bottom flask (24/40 joints and 29/42 joints)
* 3L heating mantle
* Variac for heating mantle control
* Vacuum jacketed distilling column w/ ~0.4" internal diameter
* Beryl saddle packing for distilling column
* "Thumper" to fit 0.5" glass joints
* 0.5" distilling head with ball valve reflux control
* 0.5" high efficiency condenser
* 0.5" distillation receiver and connecting glass
=== Noise Tower "Friar Tuck" ===
* 22L 5 neck round bottom flask (29/42 joints and 45/50 joints)
* 22L heating mantle
* 1 Variac for heating mantle control
** '''A second Variac is needed!'''
* 6 stage 1" inner diameter plate distillation column (no packing needed)
* 1" inner diameter distilling adapter with needle valve reflux control
* 1" inner diameter coil condenser
* '''No receiver is available for this size, but the distilling adapter ends in a 0.75" compression fitting, so something could be fashioned if needed'''
* '''No thumper is available for this size'''
=== Purification / Aging Equipment ===
* 6L capacity glass frit filters (used to support a packed carbon bed)
* 500mL capacity glass frit filters
* 2x 19L glass carboys for storage/cleanup w/ rubber plugs
* '''No activated carbon is available in the space'''
* '''Filtering through the glass frits without using vacuum takes forever...we should probably devise a better solution'''
** ''Potential better idea: construct a column out of pvc pipe with a hose barb at the bottom. Carbon granules must be big enough to do this though''
* '''Some means to stir the contents of the carboys for aging would be awesome'''
=== Condenser Loop Equipment ===
* '''We need to buy an aquarium pump and enough adapters to allow 1/4" ID flexible tubing to attach to the pump'''
=== Test and Monitoring Equipment ===
* 6x hydrometers for rating specific gravities from 0.8 - 0.95 in 0.001 increments
* 2x K type thermocouples w/ glassware adapters.
* 2 channel battery operated thermocouple display
* '''We need a glass sample cylinder'''
=== Brewing Equipment ===
* 2x 19L glass carboys for w/ rubber plugs
* '''No Turbo-yeast is available in the space'''
* '''No Airlocks available'''
* '''No temperature control equipment is available in the space. This could become a problem when we try to make large batches, but maybe it won't'''
* '''Currently, mouth siphoning is the only way to move liquid from vessel to vessel - this is a sterility concern for brewing'''
=== Safety Equipment ===
* Silicone mat for "Little John" tower
* '''A heat proof platform needs to be made for the "Friar Tuck" tower to prevent accidentally burning the floor'''
* '''We needz a dedicated fire entinguisher for the setup - it can be a tiny one, but it should be rated for electrical fires'''
