Re: Newbie view -- i.e. What I have Learned
How do you turn it on/off with no on/off switch? Plug it in to an outlet/unplug it. Very simple. I have joined a community woodworking group (Man's Shed). Their strict rule is to turn machinery off at the on/off switch. As was said, if someone turns it on at the wall switch, and the on/ off switch ...

Commercial apple juice from the supermarket, preservative shouldn't matter?

Re: An easy little trick with hot oak
I wonder how effective a vacuum chamber would be at removing any moisture from the wood. Not everyone owns a vacuum pump & chamber , but it should be more energy efficient if it would actually work. Just suppose you warmed the wood somewhat (dead cold would work against the plan); And suppose y...

You could use an old copper wash boiler insert.

Yeah, I ran quite a lot in '22. There is 45 gallons of last years Pinot that has not been sulfited that I could run, but I already have enough brandy to last a while. All the wine in bottles has had sulfite added, so they are out. I made what seems to me to be nice brandy out of ordinary bottles of...

If you have piped gas propane may be the go. Bottled, probably not. Depends on the price too. Geoff Bottled propane is all we’ve got access to in my area.

Re: Pre-prohibition yeast
I've been searching old NZ newspapers of the era. Bakers and householders were getting their yeast from brewers and distillers.
