 * What we're currently up to:**

We are working on planning and building a methanol recovery system so we can:
 * 1) recycle our methanol
 * 2) make our glycerin byproduct usable (turn it into soap/compost?)
 * 3) make our practice overall more sustainable

We are almost ready to order parts for our [|Plumber's Delight condenser]! We hope to make the frame out of black steel piping with a crimped inner tube of copper. We may also experiment with an air conditioner cooling system for methanol recovery from glycerin, with advice from the kind folks at [|Dickinson College]. Stay tuned to hear more about our plumbing adventures....
