Chinese stills on Ebay??

[wushurichard]

Hi all,

Does anuone have experience/opinions on these Chinese stills popping up on ebay at the moment?




I am considering the pot still variant as it is just within my price for a 5 gal seems reasonable to have it all made up for me

Thanks

[sweeps]

I have no experience with those stills, but I have to ask are you the same wushu Richard who did those great kitchen kung fu videos on YouTube?

I personally wouldnt trust something that has the potential to catch fire from a shop from china- the one in the piccy might look fine but theres no certainty thats what u will be sent- without knowing the seller- might just be good money down the drain

bottom line it would be a gamble methinks

ok well thank you, they look good to me. correct i do not know the seller personally, but do you know who sold you your pressure cooker or whatever it is you make moonshine in?

it seems that you have given no technical input but only slandered the seller.

is 6 litres enough for a good batch in a pressure cooker ?

If you've already made your mind up then why are you asking us?

What is your deal? You asked for opinions and now you have them. Are you honestly asking opinions or are you spamming the place with your own product?

Don't go down that road.

Actually, this is a distillers forum for discussion of home distilling.

Anyway, I had no intent of disussing martial arts, I was merely thinking that using the same username for two different forums, one of which concerns an activity that is illegal in many places, might not be advisable.

Martial arts is not an illegal activity actualy! the use of excessive force is obviously dangerous.

you didnt acknowlege my question, how much distilant is from a 6l pressure cooker

For the record, we don't encourage the use of pressure cookers either... Just like with those Chinese units, most pressure cookers use synthetic seals which could break down and leech harmful components into distilled spirits... Food safe does not equal alcohol safe... And the majority of pressure cookers are made from aluminum which is yet another material we don't encourage the use of here... This has been well documented in these forums...

I'd pass on those units...

And for the record ..... I like the kitchen kung fu - I am going to try it tonight making some spaghetti

LOL. Looks like kitchen kung fu is in the house.

[S-Cackalacky]

With so little control of your temper, I hate to think about what it might be like when coupled with martial arts.

Good luck selling your stills,

Modified. "With so little control of your temper, I hate to think about what it might be like when coupled with Alcohol!"

Ancient Chinese philosopher say "stick to experience and that which you are knowledgeable. To learn from those around you you must first be your own best friend, your own teacher, and communicator to yourself. Be all these to yourself to better enable gaining from the world."
Perhaps you should look inside yourself before reacting hastily and answering without thinking to save unwanted grief to yourself Wushu.
A 30 quart stainless steel pot with a simple pot still, easy to build at home, is a great starter still. Designs are on here. Use the HD Google and add pot still plans at the end of the string.
Enjoy the forum.

You ARE angry - right? And, you ARE a martial artist (God I hate using those two terms together.) - right? Excuse me if I'm wrong about either of those things - just making an observation.

Sorry, I thought they were your stills because you seemed so offended when folks criticized them - my mistake.

Troll!

[Odin]

One word defines it all. Thanks for sharing, Mr. P! Sorry to see all of the good guys trying to help out. Makes me wonder ... trolling is as much about good people trying to help out as it is about bad people ... trying to troll?

[Ghost]

OK OK OK I apologize for poking a little fun at the kung fu thing! Nah not really! Cant be all serious and stuff all the time!

[Rod]

Looked at the site

was not sure if the stills had internal electrical elements

[musicman]

You guys make me laugh what the hell is a troll

A troll would be someone who instigates trouble in forums for no reason other than their own personal pleasure at the annoyance of everyone else...

[gravy]

Hi,

I've own one of those stills. I use it for distilling gin botanicals that have been soaking in clean alcohol and Its ideal for this purpose.

No internal element - it goes on the stove.

Bear in mind that its a simple still - and lots of flavours come across with the alcohol. You could use it for distilling a fermented wash but the results are going to be pretty damn ordinary - premium prison grade.

is it better than a stock pot still or would you advise going for that?
