Wow...that is ghetto if I've ever seen it. I like the rough cut holes in the side of the green bottle LOL...Does it put out nice thick skimate? Or really wet stuff?

 

[RichConley]

Its pretty wet at this point.

And for you aspiring inventors, thats a Polar Ginger Ale bottle. Definitely necessary.

I've done the same, but with three nested bottles of increasing size so the bubbles needed to go down and up and down again to get out. More contact time -> thicker skimmate.

I got up this morning and had to empty it again. The riser tube is about 6 inches long at this point, and its still fillign up in 8-10 hours with tea colored crap. Maybe I need to use a whole gatorade bottle for the collection cup, adn go with a 10" or so riser tube.
