Home Distiller

I have used flattened solid copper romex wire to wrap around the ferrule and hold it centered.

I got mine from Alibaba. I haven’t found any in North America.

Mine goes down to 3/4” from the bottom, so the vapor coming in has to go through the liquid that cools it off, until it bri...

+1 on the heat. You can also use marble chips from the garden center to raise the pH.

I believe it is calcium hydroxide for masa harina.

I’ve seen recipes several different ways. We just buy it already made, so I may be wrong.

Yes. Masa for tortillas is made in the same way.

I would do 20 to 25 gallon ferments. That way you could do several strips and then one spirit run. Do you have any pictures of your setup?

Welcome aboard! Thanks for your EMS service.

Does it matter if it’s food grade or not?

I hate that. He had some really good posts.

Homer

Thank you! I think I found something that may work for me.

What kind of basket is that? It sounds like a great trial run.

Homer

Great idea. Thank you!

Homer

Can you post pictures of the parts inside the crates?

Oak Pollen The old parent site seems to have been replaced by the wiki . I personally feel your frustration that it has gone . The old version was out of date and contained a lot of information that has been proven to be wrong over the years since it was first written . However , I wish there was a...

I just saw this article the other day.

I would move the condenser further away from the column so it’s easier to catch the distillate and the condenser doesn’t draw all of the heat from the column. Just some thoughts.

Homer

What kind of cover is that on your element? What size pot did you use? It’s a nice looking build. I really like the condenser.

Homer

I use a liebig or a shotgun, but I circulate water from a 55 gallon barrel or a 330 gallon tote with a small pump. I use the tote for longer runs.

Homer

Thank you for all the work that y’all put into making this a great place for everyone. We don’t need anything that divides us.

Homer

Nice work around Chauncey , :ebiggrin: Super shiney now too . Funny you mentioned it , calm day yesterday , thought I’d go El-Nateral , few hours in and wind picked up so time to put some clothes on . 2152EA41-C7A6-4112-93B8-A197B93D43F2.jpeg Next hope is to finally get that 44gal drum cut up and s...

Rhizopus oryzae is in the angel liquor making product. Koji is Aspergillus.

With that many small holes in the thump pipe, back pressure shouldn’t be a problem. I love to read goose eyes’ posts.

Nobody laughed


Damn I feel old

Maybe an American joke?
I'm probably even older and I have no idea what this is about.

Confused Geoff

It’s an old song, 867–5309:

Thanks. I have some Jasmine rice that I have been waiting to try.

What kind of efficiency numbers is everyone getting?

HomerD

You can always rerun it or try aging it with some wood.
