Fixed that for ya :wink:

If this was legal he could have a decent still without worry. And his peers would hopefully be knowledgeable enough to stop him from hurting himself. In my view legalization would do away with all these half ass ways of distilling.
But what the heck do I know.....I am still learning.

Don't you believe it!
Governments tolerate much more dangerous hobbies, like drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, driving cars, carrying guns. So danger can not be a valid argument against our hobby.

Governments do not tolerate moonshining because they want the tax.
My cheapest alcohol costs me about EUR 1,60 a litre. My government wants about EUR 16 a litre as tax!

And this man is not stupid at all! He solved almost all his problems with the means he had to his disposal. He is clever!
Some already confessed that they used more or less the same means, a long time ago.
He maybe not aware of a lot of dangers in the materials he uses, mainly all kinds of plastic. But for that he can not be blamed. No one told him about these dangers. Moreover: the plastics he uses are commonly used in contact with food. So it is not stupid of him to trust these plastics.

Agreed, well to some of that anyway. Government will legalize the hobby when they realize it will not affect their bottom line, when the savings equal any lost revenue. A quick look at NZ would show them it in fact will but modern in ya pocket government are into control and fear freedom above all things. Spirit Tax here is around $76 per litre of alcohol and for the first time in 230 years we have dry areas popping up everywhere and wowser laws indrodued weekly. A couple of years ago legalization in line with NZ looked likely a temperance movement has got its hooks into legislators and we appear to be loosing ground. There is more at play here than plastic bags

Two things, I would really like to see this video. It sounds like a train wreck, but apparently I need a plug-in.

What does device need to play this and remember I'm not very tech savy.

The other this is wtf, you folks in Australia are paying 50 dollars us per quart of distilled alcohol? Did this happen before or after they took all your guns away?

Little off topic so sorry in advance.

Now that duct tape has been mentioned, I believe I can make it work.

I still question whether the liebag needs to be a minimum of 24" when inflated?

Dammit... my bags haven't been clear .... Lowes bags are CLEAR... I have been getting them from Home Depot instead. I knew I should have gotten that paper and pencil and took notes when he said to!

10 bags....10 days..... coincidence?

I think we're taking for granted the fact that making propper product actually requires alot of expensive equiptment and materials. He deserves some credit for finding a way to actually make anything at all for the money he probably spent on that rig.
