Mk II mods were 3 times as many cuts as before ( every 5mm )and the cuts were at least half way through and often 2/3 as its hard to judge. However try and avoid going 3/4 the way through - it is a little fragile in places now
Also I invested in a new 12" blade for my hacksaw - one with 24 teeth per 25mm. What a difference, flew through the copper hence the odd 3/4 cut :rolleyes: . Also width of cut was at least 1mm and before no where near - no wonder it stuck.
Had to keep turning the tap off for spinny sparger to catch up. Daab suggests 22mm copper which I guess would work out at £20 ish whereas £10 ish for the 15mm I have made. However looking back i would have gladly paid the extra tenner if i could have avoided the grief with the Royal oak brew.
Good luck with yours :beer

Palmers IPA safely in the barrel after 8 days and looking very clear already
( clear enough to have a taste - very promising).
Cut down on the priming this time (40g instead of 60) but added a quick squirt of co2.
This one needs to travel 30 miles to its final resting place at my mates beer festival on 26th Aug. I am tempted to rack off to another barrel a few days before and blast it with co2 but equally i could take it down with sediment and all and my work is done.
Anyone got views on this ? If I take it with sediment how long to clear again - 2 days or so?
