Barrel Thief Prototype

Recommended Posts

Put together a thief to use around the distillery. After some use yesterday I can already see what improvements I need including making one with a bend in it for in-between the racks.

that thief would be 3/4".

Nice work it looks excellent,

I have seen several plastic ones but this would last much longer.  My only concern would be that it will be very difficult to get really clean, you could fill it up and soak it in Citric, but I'm guessing it can't be scrubbed out.

Great tool for checking SG before a run i would think.

Yeah, I get the cool factor of the copper ones, but I like the stainless vintner vault ones too.  

This was made with parts we had laying around. If I had stainless it would of been stainless. 

 

Also it is easy to clean.

So, you had brass knuckles lying around?

I have an uncle who keeps a loaded shotgun in his office.  Double barrel thief?

I hopped in our tractor one day and went to move a lever that was more solid than expected... turns out our farm crew was keeping a shotgun in the cab in case they find lunch!
