Re: What is your 9 to 5??
Since several mentioned being retired, what age did you retire at, or if still working, what age do you intend to retire at? Me, I'm 59, don't see retirement in sight for another 10 years or so, unless the good Lord has other plans, (and here lately he might just be hinting that he does.)

Re: A heat Laser gun
Bushman, Yes, I have. I use 55 gallon plastic barrels in which to ferment. Reviewing the notes on the last ferment I found there was some but little difference. On the 21st at 7:30 p.m. the difference was 91 vs. 93 degrees. Air temp was 81 degrees. On the 22nd at 8:40 p.m the difference was 83 vs 85...

Re: 94 yo "former" moonshiner
I have a tape that was given to me about 10 years ago that was about 15 years old of the giver's grandfather who had actually spent time for moonshining. It was given to me for the recipe, (but was incomplete). I found the old man's tales of life in the early part of the last century from coal camps...

Re: Steam heating for a copper pot still?
In a way, anyone with a thumper is doing a steam heat. After all, it is the vapor from the still that is heating the mash/low wines in the thumper. A simple experimentation would be to add a second thumper and use your still as the boiler with water in it and your raw mash in the first thumper.

If watering down your drink doesn't do it for you, start anew. Break down your still and clean everything with baking soda and a good brush. Make your new mash a sweet mash run, no backsets on this run. Record everything, ingredients, temperatures, times, your thoughts. That way you can analysis eve...
