Also I just want to say that I am very happy with some people's contributions to this even though they were contrary to my own thoughts. But I want to reiterate that it is NOT okay to attack someone personally. And that is what I see it as when someone attacks me as a medical student/future doctor.

I never discounted the advice I received from people on this forum. I respected it, and acted anyway as an experiment. Seriously guys. You are over reacting. I admitted my mistake and knew the dangers to begin with. I had a fire extinguisher close at hand for this experiment. And that risk is small ...

Well, got 0 sleep sitting in cold tub all night. But went to work/school this morning like a champ. Yeah Im gonna go for a stainless steel stock pot but I have some questions. For sealing if I dont want to do flour/water thing all the time and I dont want to get into soldering just yet is there any ...

Yeah, sticky this if you think other people are as ingenious and reckless as I am lol. Im a 3rd year med student actually. And it looks like just bad 1rst degree burns so far. No blisters so far *crosses fingers*. Hopefully it stays that way. But its nearly 4am and I am still in and out of the cold ...

Okay you win, it broke, dont try it. It broke when I extra stupidly tried to spray some water on the copper tubing right over the carboy. Dumped right on my legs. Luckily I ran straight to the shower and turned it on cold stood there for 30ish seconds a long time really then got to cleaning up with ...

This is not a troll. I am not that desperate for attention. The reason I posted is that it seems like a cheap, clean way to produce alcohol that I didnt see anywhere else. Yes it is obvious why others havent done it before, so I tested it. It is working. Almost 2L now. The reason for glass breaking ...

Well, call me stupid, and I am sure you will. But the carboy still is going right now. It has produced 1L plus 100ml foreshots so far on a sugar wash. My eventual goal is all grain bourbon and scotch but this is a test for the still. Obviously there would be no warning but there is no sign that it i...

Sorry, yeah obv I meant carboy not carbine lol. But it does make it significantly easier given that there is no issue with sealing the top on the pot and making a hole for the copper tubing. I don't think it is that dangerous, only if the glass is cooled down fast with cold water could i see it brea...

Hey guys. I am new to this obviously. I was wondering if something like this might work. Put a standard rubber cork in a glass carboy or wine jug, put copper tubing in that, run it through a condenser and put the glass directly on a stovetop heating very slowly as to not break the glass and baddabin...
