Re: Drawing up a Double Boiler
i know the size is off but i can mash very easily with a keg in a 33gal barrel using water. very cheap and effective. you could use a 55gal still drum and make a 30?gal tank to go in it. might not be real pretty but it will work. i can cook my corn to porridge with no problems.

Re: making whisky and rum in 8 months?
sounds to me like you only want to do this because you will be somewhere that it is legal to do. this is not something like learning to ride a bike that you can learn to do well in a short time. i am not encouraging you to do something illegal either but if i was in your shoes i would enjoy my trip ...

Re: New Pot Still - Questions and comments....
if you are not using packing it doesnt look like that rig should produce 80 to 90 percent. it might but i think you should check your alcometer or the temps of the spirit. on the other hand if it taste good keep it up.
