The one popcorn sells "The last dam run of likker I'll ever make" is a more indepth of popcorn during the same run. It has more footage of him and no interveiws with others.

My own version of UJSM , wineo's neutral, then rum, but more the latter two.

I've got some spiced rum that has been in a mason jar for over 2 years, no worries.

Nice setup I like that cap on top of that boiler gives a traditional look, thats very similiar to what my current still is with exception I'm using a SS cap.

no , but I asked uncle jesse this same question under his cooked rye recipe in the tried and true and he said that it would be real thick , which makes since if you think about it. I wouldn't see any reason why it would hurt if you was using a a corn and rye bill, or a corn, barley, and rye grain bi...

Its possible, but with that thing you would get 35 -40 gallons before its cut. I can't imagine what you would do with all that, not to to mention you get caught with that and your surely getting with intent to sell.

I'm kinda wondering how in the hell your getting 11-12 qts off a 6 gallon run. I seen it was a collection of strip runs. But that just seems awful high to me. Specially if your still getting 50% after 7qts. Anyways I agree collect in pint jars 200-300ml lots. You can tell as your heads fade away int...

That is pretty neat, I really like your collection of pics of popcorn.

I work in a factory making insulation. Nothing to exciting

Tracker your liebig is just like the one the one I'm currently running except I use 1/2 inch inside of 3/4 inch.

Have used a liebig on all my stills so far,but thinking of making one with a worm coil instead. So I thought I'd start a post on which you use or prefer. Thinking of using the worm coil just because its a little more traditional.

We can't use a rifle for hunting in the lower have of Michigan. So I'd have to say my two favorite "rifles" our my 12 gauge slug gun and my .54 BP. I say slug gun, because the rifle barrel you can't shoot shot out of it. I do have a couple .22's , a sks, a mak 90 aka Ak -47 only semi- auto...

Just got done watching this. Not to bad, I like how he says a 50 gallon still is a piss pot. Makes our 5-15 gallon stills look like a ant.

I've seen a set of 3 SS pots with lids at walmart for 20 bucks. I believe it comes with a 4,3, and a 2 gallon one. I'd go that route if you are looking for something cheap. Your just asking for trouble with any other steel then stainless.

I wonder if you ran a thumper and added some peaches with juice to your thumper and just made a corn whiskey and ran it like that if it would come out the same or close.

On 11/2208 at 600Pm to 730Pm is a Documentary about Popcorn. Its on The Documentary Channel. Set your DVRs.

Thats a hell of a setup you got there. Looks good, good luck with your adventure.

You could you use a half inch coupler soldered to a flat piece of copper. Then you stainless screws to fasten to the lid. You could find a stainless bushing then solder a male fitting to your column and screw it to the bushing and screw the bushing to the lid. You could use a cork. Drill a hole in t...

I forgot to mention. When you run your stripped wash there is still some bad stuff in there. But when you run it the second time your pulling more of it out. Therefore you should still through out the first part. It may only be the first 75 ml this time around but as mentioned above better safe than...

If your still is 10 gallons you should be able to collect in 200ml-300ml lots. After you collect let it sit out for a day or two. You should be able to smell and most certainly be able to taste the difference between the foreshots and the heads. When the smell and taste changes which maybe from the ...

I'd have to say Black Velvet. Reason being when I was it high school the stuff was a cheap drunk. We used to buy a fifth of that stuff and a case of the Beast for a little over 10 -12 bucks The smell of the stuff now makes me sick.

I'm with joe on this one. After you air out your distillate you can definetly smell the difference between that first 200 or so and the next 200ml lot.

<<< wonders how the distillation of alcohol morphed into marriage counseling >>>

Wasn't meant to be. I basically was just pissing and moaning in the off topic board. Just getting others opinions on the subject. However the thread kinda turned like that. Then became comical.

Fellas, some of these posts are starting to become comical. I'm 100% sure my wife isn't cheating on me with a guy in a biker bar. She likes tats and I hate them on women. On dudes some of them are pretty cool they just don't belong on the ladies in my opinion. Let me give the whole story so theres n...

nutmg1 you and I think a lot like I see. I outta buy me a belt sander and wait until she's sleeping and take care of the problem myself I don't know but it definitely pissed me off.

I'm in south west Michigan mainly corn and beans grown around hear there is some wheat. Last time I looked at the local coop it was 6.88 a bushel. Three years ago it was 2.25. Went from 80 a ton to well over 200. Hell just this winter I paid 3.85.

If the temp knob controls your heating element I would suspect it would turn off ounce it was up to the preset temp , but it should turn back on ounce the temp starts to fall to maintain the preset temp. Is the fan actually the lid? If so I would guess this is what is used as a air cooled condenser ...

Your right I didn't really think about Iowa being a huge crop producing state. I my opinion this whole ethanol thing that starting the rise in price is a bust. I was using corn for my heat. It was cheaper and more environment friendly than natural gas. Gas prices are already killing us not mention f...

I don't have one of these but seems pretty straight forward. I'm guessing the temp knob will heat your element to that temp. You'll have to play with it until you fiqure out at what temp your distillate starts to come off. I'm not sure how it cools the vapor off unless the top has some type of cooli...

I'm not as young as what you may think. I'm 33 or will be and so is my wife. I already made the point I hate tattoos on women. She had one on her back which is small and its tasteful just not my thing . She wanted another and at first I said no way no way no way. So we had a compromise so I thought....
