Home Distiller

That's quite neat, I like that, do you stash your fermenters and stuff away as well?

I'd rack it off into another clean fermenter to let it clear out for a week or so.

I've not long turned 21

Good to hear your stickin around for a while longer mate!

I'm in envy of your view!

I enjoy some /b/ its beyond me though why someone would get something like that on them.....

condensificator, any chance we can see what else you got on you? I really liked that arm.

What are the max / min recommended PH levels for a wash?

If I plan to stop my run half way through to attend it at a later date I keep the cooling water pumping for around 20 min, just to keep whatever is in the steam in the unit and not coming out the condenser. I haven't had any smells to date from stopping a run.

Man that is a lot of colour condensificator, looks sweet but! I try and stick with black and grey but thats just my personal preference. My grandfather had 2 full sleeves and the colour faded out of his long before he passed. I know thats because of the old inks that they used to use but I can never...

wow, that sounds really nice SB

What you looking at getting?

Wish we got the Doc channel in Aus, took me ages to find it online.

Spent all day at the tattooist today.. anyone here have some ink?

I think you will find that once you get into it you will want to distill way more than 4L at a time, I run 2 25L fermenters and am almost finished my potstill so I can run it all at once to save doing 2 runs.

I watched the documentary on him the other day, he really does care about the quality of his product, allbeit he does only produce to sell, but he put his kids through college

Hey all Aussie peeps,

anyone else in the hunter region in NSW? I'm in Newie

even just taking it off the yeast sludge and letting it sit for a couple of days will clear it up a heap

Newcaslte NSW for me also spend a bit of time in the central west, dubbo to bourke area

What yeast do you use Kiwi and RD?

does leaving the lids on or off the fementers have any effect once the fermentation is finished?

This morning I siphoned off into separate containers and washed out the fermenters to get what had settled overnight out and then put the wash back in to settle again, will probably do this twice more before I run it up on the weekend, will this have any detrimental effect or just make it cleaner?

Yesterday, degassed 50L of WPOSW, I just want to ask whether anyone has a list of Do's and Dont's that they have found in their travels for degassing and clearing the wash before they fire up the boiler, I don't want to make some mistake where I'm losing the alcohol in the wash because of some silly...

Keeping it in detached from your house means that IF by some chance something dangerous happens and insurance is needed, your house insurance isnt instantly voided because you are doing something illegal (in Aus, they will cancel it straight up if they find it has anything to do with illegal activity)

Have a pit pass for today and tomorrow, not happy that ford will take pole position come kick off, wont change the outcome though, holden all the way! Probably helps that all ford's good drivers changed teams haha!!!!

If you can't get the hookup from a bartender or some friends for bottles try an IKEA if you have one near you, I get jars from there to use for macerations and picked up some bottles on my last visit. The ones I got hold around 1.25L

I get mine from the local brew shop, they will send it to you no worries mate, just give them a call (don't email, 90% of the time its the owner's wife that is attending the store and she has given me some wrong stuff before so if you call them you can be absolutely sure you know what your getting) ...

damn that thing is tall... Lucky by the look of it you live on the land so you dont have to hide it... can't imagine running that thing in a shed or room off the house...

BOOYA Holden all the way baby! this weekend is going to be huge!

just finished adding the sugar for the second syrup portion for a kiwi fruit panty dropper, will let you know how it tastes soon

Did anyone end up using the kiwi fruit? I picked up 40 the other day for $4 so was looking for a use for them,
Started my first SPD today, looking good so far!

what does the phasing of the sugar do to the wash?
