I have yeast for making rice alcohol/wine, they recommend to make a chimey in the cooked rice after inoculation, probably to let the bottom yeast breathe. Vietnamese pple usually age the alcohol by putting back the fermented rice in the alcohol jar, so that it fills a 3rd of the bottle. This adds a ...

grappa video is fine, i love the bamboo jacket condeser. The flow doesnt seem realistic. The fact that the cooling tube diameter is so small is interesting, the vapors must go thru very quickly, and the expansion chamber is nice too. I wonder about the possible applications of distilling under press...

I dont think u can measure by temp using a pot setup, and If you did your thermometer would have to be just bfore the cooling tube. I do use a thermometer on top of my culumn and find it quite reliable, when temp rises to much increase the reflux, when reflux isnt efficient anymore and temp is aroun...

You are right, lead poisoning is very fatal but distillation <b>removes the water/liquid from the lead</b> and it stays behind in the pot. Anything <b>after</b> the pot cannot have any lead in it because the distillate has been condensed back into a liquid. Happy distilling :D Dudez, that's the the...

I am note sure i understand but that's what i call my jacket, it's a kind of outer wall surrounding the boiler (15 cms space between the boiler and the jacket) and furnace that i use to isolate from the winds. I'm not really sure what your boiler looks like so this may not help, but I'll throw the ...

i started distilling with an aluminium pressure cooker. A cheap chinese one. The setup was very easy, and it was very interesting for experimenting my firsts distillations. Now I realise it gives a metallic taste, and since it's too small anyways, I had made a 2nd one (stainless). I still use the pr...

i have 2 ways to control the heat, the size of the air intake and the fan of the air intake. Between tweeking these and the speed of dropping at the end of the still there is about 1 or 2 minutes delay. For now it's fine and the heat is quite stable. Only trouble is that burned coal stack up on the ...

Need heating tip (I use coal)
Hi Dudes, My still is a 10cm wide, 1m tall reflux column with a 100l (25 gallons) boiler. I put that on a coal grill with a fan to force air in the fire. The boiler is on top of the coal grill and there is an aluminium jacket around all that (i would put a pic if i had a camera). The jacket is used ...

I have a steel boiler, a steel column and a steel jacketed condenser. From prev experience I noticed a huuuuge difference after inserting copper. So what I did is insert a rolled up copper paper (really thin copper) on the top of packing. It does it's job well. And seeing how difficult cleaning this...

Re: Molasses Mash

Suggestions are welcome. PNW taste your mash, put in your mouth and then breath in some air, that will help telling you...

why the orange ? Flavour? :wink: I read a molasses recipe on here somewhere that said to throw in a sliced orange. I've never fermented molasses before so I thought I'd try. It's to the point now where I can actually smell the orange through the strong molasses smell. I hope I can get around to run...
