OD... You are the plastic police.

ArkyJ

Oh yeah.. Welcome to the forum there Dorian.

What???
Another one?
You just had one!

OK, I'll break out the oat whiskey for a small sip.

Enjoy.

Like the rest of us. We looked and thought: Holy Shit! What, when, where and how. Read, read, read! Start simple. Learn and learn from your mistakes. Save the hard stuff when you can say: This is easy, what's the fuss. The tries and true receipies are time proven and will turn out a great product. T...

Ah, yes. We journey back 48 years to when I really thought that boys might change me. To the Cascades Mt's around Rimrock Lake in Washington State. My boyfriend had set me down, by a stump, with rifle in hand, as he wandered off to hunt elk. Since we ain't here to write a the novel "High Hunt&q...

Well, Shit! This sucks!
Pop in from time to time and say: Hi!
ArkyJ

I would type/sing Happy Birthday to you but, it seems that
the last time I did it. Some said my typing was like finger nails down a chalk board.

So... Just a simple HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Rad and many more to come.
ArkyJ

It's bad enough we have to worry about the ATF and FDA, not to mention the local yokles. Now, you throw in the Game and Fish dept.
[Sigh]. Some people will never learn.

Welcome to the Forum. Before you go the route your talking about on a still and your sure you want to buy. Take the time to go to MilHi and Brewhous. The see what some of our local builders can offer. Nope. Don't make a cent off and of the above, but don't want you, maybe, getting screwed. Have fun ...

Welcome to the Forum. If you make your cuts and you can find out about cuts by reading about cuts, you won't have to worry about anything bad in your booze. No filtering required. Feed your yeast and they will be happy yeast and even make more yeast and even make booze. Yeah, got to do some more rea...

The river is still way to high.
Can't even catch bluegills in the back waters, cause there ain't no
backwaters yet.

A man and woman get together and finally make it into bed.
She whispers into his ear.
"Give me nine inches and make it hurt."
So... He screws her three times and hits her in the mouth.

Welcome to the Forum. I think most of us were either wine or beer makers before crossing that forbidden line into distilling. As time passes you might find not limiting yourself and seek out other types of booze. Great bunch of receipies in the tried and true section. All are fun to do and some are ...

Damn!!! Be be that young again.
Happy brithday!
ArkyJ

Ok, everybody. So you all don't think I am totally a Butch Dike. A widowed woman walks into her local grocery story and does her shopping. At the check out stand she eyes this really cute box boy of about 18 or so and thinks to herself. "God, he is a hunk. Oh, it's been years since I have slept...

Well, welcome to the Forum. As you already know... A great place.
Glad to have you here.
ArkyJ

Welcome to the Forum... Far as I remember, can't make cognac from California grapes. Can't even be made from Arkansas grapes, but seems the French cognac grape came from Arkansas. Guess, kinda depends where you live. If your going to make grappa or for that matter brandy, most deffinately going to n...

Well, first. Welcome to the Forum.
As you have already seen, tons of great info.

Now to the part that always gets me called a Bitch.
Please be careful whom you tell/bring into this new
found adventure. Well, you already know the rest.
I'll shutup about it.
ArkyJ

Amen, Brother Bushman, Amen.
ArkyJ

Welcome to the Forum!
Thank You for your service!!!


You make beer. Your half way to some great booze.
Time, paticence and safety are all that is required.
Sorry you don't get 6 dumb questions. Only 5. Then your
exiled back to beer.

Come home sake.
ArkyJ

RD! I asume your an O/O but as a company driver and seeing what was over the next hill for 7 years,
decieded it was time to come home for good. The road pulls and I keep my hasmat current but, watching
life roll by on the front porch ain't so bad.
ArkyJ

Your wash is done!
Distill it.
ArkyJ

This hobby is only as expensive as you make it.
You make wine. Your half way there now.
A simple pot still is not all that expensive.
For another $100 dollars you could make
a bad tasting wine into perhaps, an excelent
brandy.
ArkyJ

Welcome to the Forum.
You'll save hundreds if you'll only make a pot still
instead of buying your commercial still of choice.
Pot still are easy to construct and even easier to use.
ArkyJ

Welcome to the Forum!
Great place
and a place of time and patience.
Brewing beer, almost double that time and you'll be distilling if
your in a hurry.
If you can go fishing all day long, not get a fish, think you had
a great time. Distilling is going to be for you.
ArkyJ

Well, Rad... I sent off a second message today and the same thing happened. Type message. hit submit. Goes to preview message. Hit submit a second time and I get a message sent. That's life and I can live with it. No biggie. To the rest of you who took the time to read what I had to say... Love and ...

To all of you folks whom have thought it was worth sending me a PM.
I am sorry!
Today, I have finally (after 6 months here) figured out that you don't hit
"submit" button only once but, twice.
I ain't stuck up and I did answer but, was to stupid to know how to send a
reply.

My bad.
ArkyJ

Nice machine BUT! Way to small.
Your going to end up with a pint or less
of drinkable booze if you can even make your cuts
with it.
ArkyJ

Sounds like you should be looking to your neighbors
living high on copper. Not an inside job but a neighbor
who knows what goes on around your place.

From the American Revelution, thru the War of Northern Aggression to
the three wars we fight today. Women have and are on the front lines. Fighting
along side their male counter-parts.
Dis-respect them if you wish. Then as now, they have fought and died for a country
they, as you, love.

Welcome to the forum! You have seen your problems. You have answered your own questions. As to a still. Jump up to at least a 20qt S/S pot. If you don't, you will next time around. If your going to stick with this and this is not a flash in the pan hobby. Think keg and two inch tower or head take of...
