Home Distiller

Hay y'all, it's been a while. :wave: I'm back deep into brewing, thinking about picking out the copper and getting going again. Who's using a grainfather as a still? Looking to use my own column and condenser. What's the connection like with the dome top? thinking connection type and diameter? I hav...

if your still kicking about id recomend a malt extract and hop beer. boiled up in your bigest pot.

done keep up the good work Uncle Jesse

still have dunderstruck stuck in my head when ever i hear thunder struck

I was to hasty for a run and didn't clear the wash enough. melted the copped off the element, the things you learn

if your going to be in Athens id recommend hitting up Brettos not a distillery as such but you can buy ouzo from the cask, has a wide range of panty droppers and you can sit puffing a Cuban next to the no smoking sign( or could when I was there). http://www.brettosplaka.com/" onclick="wind...

id keg it but i wouldnt put 30lbs of pressure i usually go for 10psi at 3c

what sr said.

i was going to link to brulosophy while reading your comment but you beat me to it.

So, after setting it on the cool (cold?) tile I checked this morning and the krausen is gone! :shock: Oh no, I put it into hibernation, I cooled to quickly, i.... So I walked away and went to work. Checked tonight and it's brown liquid...dead...nothing..wait, what's that noise? ITS ALIVE!!!! Sizzli...

congrats man :D ive not entered a contest yet. what i would say is that tasty from the brewing network pours from keg to bottle and won a few golds. one of the tips they regularly put out on the show is to slightly over carb your competition beers. you never know how long the bottle may be sitting o...

looking good lawman. its one of the things i couldnt live with out since i made mine a while back. ive been thinking about making a new one. my old has seen better days its been beat up pretty bad. looking at the hydra wort chiller and jamil zainasheff from mrmalty.com as insparation. i feel the hyd...

Wooteck, Congrats brother, great to read about you diving in. The brewhouse game is all about growth, growth growth. Once you have distribution channels, you can sell what you can make, so you'll be turning all profits into growth as often as you can because youre biggest problem will be you cant m...

Odin.

thats good to hear. looking forward to meeting up. if i can find my capper ill bring some samples if not i may bring a growler or 2

yeah. it may be shortend some what. the solder to the boiler wasnt solid and came offf.

the plan in the mean time is to solder the 35mm and the 54mm base but leave the the reducing part unsolderd untill i know it will hold together.

non soldered coloumn. im just hoping the conection flange to the boiler will be able to take the weight

Good things don't happen overnight, hope you haven't drained your finances these last couple years working on this! im not going to say its been cheap but alot of it has been recouped through homebrew experaments. other than the costs for my 100l brew kit, my kegs and keg system the cost (keg syste...

Regards, Odin.

sure thing

Best advise I've heard is " remember, you're starting a marketing company that happens to have alcohol as its product" You said you're up on the marketing which is good because you can make the best beer in the world but if it's not marketed right..... Good luck good advice and one that i...

B pay day is tomorrow and im ordering 40l of vinegar for my cleaning runs. id guess my normal charge will be 40-50l i...

ive kicked off 96l of winos sugar wash at a S.G. of 1.070 so im ready to go when my parts arrive on the 27th. plan is to take that to nutral and make some panty droppers and some gin.

happy hogmanay when it comes. stay safe. im sure to make full use of the scottish traditional 2day public holiday .
