Just got my new 13 gallon milk can boiler
I was so excited to get it.. thought it looked amazing until my wife, who is an avid spell checker, read the engraving back to me.. I know its not big deal but definitely would have felt better if everything was correct. Oh well.

Ha, I just looked at my 8 gallon I got for Christmas and it's spelled the same way! Works awesome though

That's good to know... I feel better about doing my first run with it in a week or two now.

I'm not too worried about them knowing. My friend Tickle is responsible for moving it from place to place to make sure we don't get caught

I guess the guys over there (Colorado) have been tokin' a bit much....can't spell anymore (maybe they're not graduates). But I suppose they can weld stainless, or at least I hope they can.

Say "distiller" as if you're drunk. It's spelled right...

Re: Just got my new 13 gallon milk can boiler
Oh wow, I have one of those. I love the look vs. a keg. Yeah I'm on a list somewhere.
Now I need to go check it. Stand by...
Oh F me, hahaha! I too am a "moonshine disiller"
Is it just me, or does anyone else very much dislike the term "moonshine"? To me, it denotes slack practice, shortcuts, rotgut crap, vs careful and prudent craft distillation. Our goal is to produce a product SUPERIOR in many ways to the average liquor store juice. I'd rather offer a friend a "Craft Distilled" beverage vs friggin' moonshine.

Go check out this method and see if you can maybe etch a big eagle over the words to cover it. Or etch a "XXX" jug in the middle to cover just the misspelling.

Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough
Re: Just got my new 13 gallon milk can boiler
I ordered one a few years back now from another company, i special requested one with NO etching, which they promised i was getting a milk can with no etching... it was etched... i hate that, but i love the function of the item. the can itself is not a serial numbered item, and upon asking the vendor whom was required to submit still sales to TTB, they told me my name was not on the list they needed to submit, as it was just a milk can and also i did not receive a letter from TTB... thus I am hoping it is a good sign.
as for the spelling issue... if interrogated by federal agents as to whether you are disTilling or not you can look straight at them and say NO .... because you are truly a disiller just look at your Can.... some times spelling makes all the difference, ask any politician, or lawyer.
I never refer to anything as moonshine, amongst the very few people aware of my activities we are known to discuss the properties of various "Solvents" and only then i only refer to the name of the recipe.

Re: Just got my new 13 gallon milk can boiler
In our house, we have a theme that I call "Country Clutter" behind my wife's back... too many old farm and kitchen knick-knacks from the depression era and before - tin signs, that sort of thing.
The milk can sits nicely on a corner table with a handful of plastic flowers and foliage stuck in there. It's a decorative piece.

Re: Just got my new 13 gallon milk can boiler
I asked a company about a milk can, too. They said, "as long as you are only buying the can, your name doesn't go on a list. if you buy a condenser or a whole setup, we have to keep that. But if you just buy a milk can, we aren't required to report it."Rastus wrote: the can itself is not a serial numbered item, and upon asking the vendor whom was required to submit still sales to TTB, they told me my name was not on the list they needed to submit, as it was just a milk can and also i did not receive a letter from TTB... thus I am hoping it is a good sign.
All these letters got me thinking, and curious. If you find a company that accepts payment by money order, you could just buy a money order with cash, mail it in with your order, and give a fake name. Have it shipped to a friend's house. "nope, no one by that name, here."
edit: different states may have different rules. I called another company that said if you buy ANY parts from them, even just a milk can, they have to keep a record and turn it in.

Re: Just got my new 13 gallon milk can boiler
I sure am glad of that! I sure had a hankering to take the easy way out and buy one pre-made.... but now i have built my own and am very glad i did just because i have that knowledge and understanding( the copper part)
I love my milk can it is easy to wash and use and is just the right size for my self serving needs.
have a good one..

Re: Just got my new 13 gallon milk can boiler
I just got one from the same company, I recognize the logo, and on the newer ones it's spelled correctly.
They must have had a run where someone fell asleep.
The light etch looks like it's going to rub off at some point, at least the one I have sitting on my desk here at work.. LOL

Re: Just got my new 13 gallon milk can boiler
How was it dealing with that company? Emailed them with a question and received no answer. Also, phone # not working.

Re: Just got my new 13 gallon milk can boiler
I ran across two numbers for them some time back, one worked and one didn't, dunno why. You can leave a message but it will take days for them to get back to you, they do NOT respond to emails or Facebook, kind of a bummer on customer service.
Their shipping is super fast, and craftsmanship is amazing. Fortunately the etching on mine buffed out completely leaving no trace.
