Hi, I looked through the first two pages of off-topic topics but there are 123 altogether... Several members have commented on 3D printing so maybe can answer my questions. I am thinking mainly of lawn cemeteries though the same kind of plaque they use can be used on traditional gravestones... Would...

"I'm thing about about making some kind of hanging arrangement from the ceiling"

Or legs that go outside the still and support a clamp that goes around the riser....
This would be more rigid than a hanger.
You mechanical people will understand.

I think you should keep red and white separate. AND also keep some combined. Say 50-50. So you know where you are at. And taste each, from time to time. Taking particular note of the combined... Then after a while you can add a little red to some of the combined. And a little white to some of the co...

Tried to remove the double post. Dunno how. Doesn't matter... Supposing I used TWO jars. Ordinary piece of wood across the bottom of the two jars, piece (two pieces, one on top of the other)... of oak across the top. One clamp. Or a piece of threaded rod, which I have several lengths of... Or two pi...

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 ...

All I'm doing is getting further use out of the energy that I'm already having to put into the still anyway.

Yes, I'm a tight ass!

The explanation is much longer than the experiment.

I could look into that...
Commercial apple juice from the supermarket, preservative shouldn't matter?
And I have plenty of brandy from wine that was past its prime.

TwoHedWlf said, 'I've used methanol in the containers on its own'. I think you would mean 'feints'. The idea that the first liquid off the still is methanol has been discredited for a long time now. Incidentally my son used to buy 205 litre drums of actual methanol when he was making diesel from use...

Some have suggested slightly less ripe lemons if I remember right.

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.
No solder, they are just shaped.
Tried to copy and paste but that didn't work for me.

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. It’s the standard $20 to fill a gas grill sized tank. It’s really tempting to just say screw it and go with gas for the time being since it’s a ...
