Home Distiller

Just googled it and they say:

Made primarily of Teflon, grilling mats are easy to wipe clean. Some are even dishwasher safe.

If that is the case it might work. My homemade gaskets are 8’ diameter made from cardboard and teflon tape.

I like the way they blend the history with the different regions where brandy is produced.

Yummy that is also my favorite link to winding a coil as well. I haven’t made one for years but used to wind them for other members after they got frustrated doing it themselves. I filled the tube with fine sand used for sandblasting. I tried the other methods and water if you’re not careful would c...

Welcome to HD, I run both a pot still and a CM reflux still. Lots of good information on adding a thumper to a pot still and how to run it on the forum. Enjoy the journey!

Birdwatchers is an easy recipe, but before you go out and spend money on something that you might outgrow in a year. I would do a little more reading on the forum. If you list what your thinking about purchasing other members can probably give input on the still.

Welcome, lots of changes in the hobby level the last 20 years.

Here is the article I found on the ban

I have a large outbuilding and run on electricity so with plenty of ventilation and usually a mild enough season that it is mostly year around.

Welcome, in most countries home distilling is not legal if this is the case and you are using your real name send me a PM and we will change your handle.

Sorry but our Dungeness crab on the west coast are just too good to use in a whiskey recipe!

Happy Birthday Tater, and Heynonny. Looks like I am a day late!

A good starting point with easy to follow directions is Jimbo’s single malt AG recipe.

Welcome, don’t try to do it all at once for me it was a little bit at a time, bookmarking what I needed at the moment, digesting the information, and then back to reading some more.

TwoHedWlf, I moved your post from your welcome post to a more appropriate forum.

In another thread I mention an Amazen Pellet Tube to add to your smoker for cold smoking. Below is a picture of the one I use. I like buying Turkey Breasts already cooked from Costco and cold smoking it in my smoker. You can also use it in an outdoor BBQ.

I join the others in saying thanks for your contributions. I often think of fellow members especially when their birthdays appear on the forum but are no longer posting and wonder how they are doing. Maybe in the future you will decide to get back into it.

Welcome, we have a whole section on essential oils. I built a small still dedicated for essential oils only.

Nice write-up! We have several recipes on the forum that use oranges. When just collecting the orange peel without the pith I use a zester similar to the one pictured below.

Welcome, I used to take my boat to Rivers Inlet fishing every year. Never made it that far north, Enjoy the hobby.

Welcome, from a boater just south of your border that spends a lot of time boating in the gulf islands of Canada.

Welcome to HD, you have come to the right place to gain knowledge. Good luck and enjoy the journey!

Happy Birthday Mooseman, hope you have a great day!

Welcome, I will be visiting Portugal this April with my wife’s cousins from Norway.

Tequila shots with my adult kids at our condo in Canada.

Welcome, my rum recipe is also a combination of Panela and molasses. Good luck lots of rum recipes on the forum.

Currently in Victoria BC at our condo sunny and 16 F.

Hail yesterday, currently 8 F with a windchill factor that makes it feel like a -1. Heavy winds yesterday not as bad today, we have a ferry crossing through the islands to Vancouver island today and in the past with the heavy winds some of the scheduled ferries were cancelled.

Welcome, lots of choices for the direction to head none of them is wrong. I went backward from the norm starting with a VM which limited my product. After several years I built a larger CM still and since have built two smaller pot stills. Don’t use the VM anymore but the others are used for specifi...

Welcome, a distillery that I visit while in Hawaii distills a lot with pineapples;
