it's sleaved with a liebig so i could cool the distilate to a temp to where i wouldn't have to use a temperature conversion chart to read my hydrometer. i'll try and post pics right now

well i tried and i tried... i have built a 3" bok and tried to incorporate a sleaved parrots beak attached to the collum but cant get the little f****r to stop leaking so i guess i'm going to have to scrap the idea for now as its delaying my first runs. this post probably doesn't belong here bu...

thank you for all the help. i was going to use the barrell for a rice ferment, (sake and U.R.R.V.) i think i might try a vodka soaked towel? then just run with it

i just bought a 40 gallon blue barrell from my local brew house. it's empty but had contained malt and there is a bit left in there. what is a safe way to remove the syrupy remnants? i was going to use this as my fermenter. thank you

thank you

hello all. in my search for ss needle valves i have found many of the stem tips are chrome plated stainless steel. is this acceptable? this is the one i already purchased for my take off and i am pretty sure it's all stainless http://catalog.hoke.com/Asset/2100_SERIE.pdf" onclick="window.o...

found it! http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS94139" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow

interesting. thank you sir

when i found it the first time it was when golden pond passed, rip. and i read that he was into wild yeast so i started reading his posts and it was a splinter off of one of those i think that someone else posted, i don't know, i can't find it anymore

sorry. i was trying to ask if anyone had the link

there is a link somewhere on this site that takes you to some "bio fuel.gov" type of site and it goes into extreme detail on cultivating wild yeast. i had the link written down but it has left me to somewheres unknown. thank you

thank you samohon. 1" it is. with the bottom lip of the top plate being lower than the over flow lip on the bottom that shouldn't happen as long as i stick with the template and not increase the degree of my slots, correct? this is also to not restrict vapor flow?

pics will be up soon.

i've read on here that a lot of people prefer to keep their plates spaced at 5/8" on a two inch column i just printed up the template and it has them at 3/4" for a two inch. i have a three inch bok so i enlarged the template by 50% which brought the spacing to one inch. does the with of my...

getting real close, and getting real excited. it's a monster; 5 feet tall. haven't made the plates yet but my condencer is in so i should have room for 48" of packing. as my condencer is only 10 inches, double 3/8ths od with a finger. just sleaved my parrots beak for a liebig. so much for an ap...

someday real soon i'm gonna have the old lady teach me how to bookmark. i can't find the copper needle valve thread. i don't wan't to mess with brass or stainless and i've read about plans for a copper needle valve but can't seem to locate them. thank you for your help

thank you austin

cool thread, thank you. it really only compared the outputs of the 3" vm and 3" bok though. i was kinda lookin for the amount of time i would save runn1ng a 3" bok as appossed to a 2" bok. it seems it would be efficient if you just packed it enough. idk.

i am about to start a build and i was wondering if anyone has built a 3" diameter bok. if so are you happy with it? does it cut down your run time? i was thinking between 48" and 57" including condencer column height with the two slant plates on 15.5 keg and propane. any thoughts? i j...

i always liked jim beam better anyways

maybe let the parrot perch 12 inc lower sling a lil weinie in the middle

doesthe cold finger eliminate the need for a condencer on the take off?

headache music!!!!

how do, i'm so happy i found this site. i've been researching for about a month and thought i knew a little something... then i came here and almost shat myself. i've been creeping around this site for a few weeks and i now realize i know nothing. well, a hell of a lot more than i did before, yet a ...
