Someone just gave me 20 gallons of oxidized red wine :D This is very cool! Never ran this type of product before. I will run this through my 3 inch pot head. My question is do I have to make cuts. (heads, hearts, taiils) Second question, what can I do with the dunder left over in the boiler? Would l...

been trying this for awhile ujssm gets cloudy with something settling in the bottom of the jar when adding honey and mapley syrup, going to try mixing honey and syrup with a little water and heat it up on the stove, let it cool down , then add it to the whiskey. Love this stuff

let me know what you think kinda fits where you live

sorry to hear about your situation, hope all the best to you and your family, this many be alittle off subject but when you posted those pics of the mountain reminded me of a song from Jessie Colin Young called ridge top maybe you have heard it , if not You Tube has it Music always makes me feel bet...

got it Thank you,

I was running a little harder on the last run. Just wondering why does that cause this.

OK, I was on my 4 gen of ujssmm when I noticed product was coming out kinda tinted. :esurprised: Not clear. Got done with the run and took apart the pothead, wadded up some paper towels and taped them to a rod and started cleaning the inside of the pothead. Paper towels came out scary dirty. Is this...

no still reading, You might have a good point maybe I will rethink using the 30 gal. drum and learn will a smaller size. I have a 15 gal. keg that I could turn into a brew kettle and a 7.5 gal keg I could use for a boiler and a pot head still.

what do you think on my grain bill, am I in the ball park? or can you fine tune it a little, I realy was psyched about building a mash barrel, I have a 30 gallon stainles steel drum just sitting around and I was going to put a false bottom in it

Thanks so much for the calculator. That's awesome! Kinda what I figured. Just wanted to make sure. I figured something like 40 lbs of corn and 12 lbs of malted barley. My local brewing supply store quoted me $65.00 for a 50 lb bag of crushed two row malted barley.Just thought it would be fun to mash...

Been reading and trying to figure out if mashing is cheaper than using sugar. Trying to figure out a grain bill for a 25 gallon wash. Need to know how much corn and malted barley I would need in pounds. If anybody could point me in the right direction or better yet just give me the answer :ebiggrin:...

very nice just a thought but you could put a 90 at the union a have the option of adjusting your condenser angle

I posted this project turned out nice, I bought the stainless steel range vent on ebay for $102.00 plus $32.00 shipping 850cfm it has a 6 inch vent pipe, I didnt like cutting a 6 inch hole in my house. It also has 2 lights and 3 speed fan. http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23318

Chillen and I were just reading this one and remembered about the recipe for choco - vodka. Had to put the bottle of vodka in the dishwasher to melt the chocolate. So I thought we would do the same to invert the sugar and release the tea. It's in the dishwasher as we speak. Let you know how it turns...

hay itchy I have 2 kegs here (maybe we can work something out) , I know your drawing is a rough scetch but put that keg drain close to the bottom as possable , makes for ez cleaning

I do not know the proof but I will find out, Lets say its around 15 to 17 proof

I have made this a few times I used Tropicana Peach Punch and it really turns out nice. I think the Tropicana has more Peach flavor than the Welch's Grape. Just thought I would put that up there.

Hey guys, Was approached today by someone who has 60 gallons of oxidized wine. I was asked to make brandy. I'm looking for some information on distilling wine. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Questions like do I pot still or use reflux, is there heads, hearts and tails in the distillati...
