I used to cheat and use dark creme de cacao and orange juice before finding the above recipe... it works in a pinch

A very good Jaffa recipe - enjoy....

1/2 oz butterscotch schnapps
1/2 oz chocolate liqueur
1/4 oz Malibu® coconut rum
1/4 oz Orange Curacao liqueur
1 1/2 oz milk

I have a local restaurant that does a Sunday Champagne Brunch - the nice waitress there saves all the champagne bottles for me - I get regular corks from the beer/wine shop and regular beer bottle caps fit as well if you have a crown capper - I store them capped and use a cork after opening a bottle.

I can solder and figure out how to make my own now Remove the mason jar and run straight to the condensor. I would de-solder the lyne arm from the connector to the mason jar and the connector after the mason jar - looks like you may need a reducer (3/4 to 1/2) to reconnect the condensor to the lyne...

I use neutral spirits in my little airlocks - you can use cheap store bought (gasp) vodka if you haven't made any yet.

Did you read the comments? - this one was interesting - I'm drooling

Hi, nice work! what does a unit like this cost? Thanks!

The catalog price on this piece is close to $600 but being that I am a free lance Glassblower I sell them for quite less.

I built mine easily after seeing it on the wiki:

When I need to take some of my kegged beer to a party - I use (gasp) 2 liter soda bottles. I drill out the cap and put a cornelius keg fitting on it - then after filling with beer, I top off the carbonation with my CO2 tank using the corny keg attachment :) pop the fitting on and, squeeze the air ou...

I bought a nice funnel from him - everything about the transaction and shipping went perfectly.

I got a bunch of large oversized glass carboys from the "botanical gardens". School children used them to build terrariums inside of and when the projects were abandoned they stored them. A friend found them in storage and thought they would be great for fermenters - he gave me 14 of them ...

I get mine from the feed store - cracked corn is sometimes called "Calf Mana" because it's used to feed baby cows...

If I bring my own container, the feed store charges me $12.50 for 5 gallons and about $16.50 US if it's in theirs

Go for the 20 gallon barrel - it has handles and the lid locks on instead of screws.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350006730610&ih=022&category=1267&ssPageName=STORE:PROMOBOX:NEWLIST#LIST" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="n...

20 years ago - I tried my hand at malting. Soak the grain to get it wet in a BOP - I think I let it soak at room temp for a couple of hours. I would spread the grain out on a bedsheet in the sun, cover it with another sheet and get it wet to start the germination. When it started to crack and the ac...

Heck with fermenting in that! - TURN IT OVER and make a still outta it! I've gotta glass carboy and a plastic bucket I use for fermenting. But If you got more copper/stainless than you know what to do with, first give some to me, then you could put together something like this http://hbd.org/brewniv...

I have made it a couple of times - I really like it. Flavor is lighter and dryer than UJSM It is pretty darn good white and lightly aged on oak mine was a lot like a light scotch. It's a little more work, you have to make sure it cooks for a whole 90 minutes, you can't throw it in the fermenter like...

I can see why folks don't want to type that one out much.

Amyloglucosidase, glucoamylase : -Are these the same enzyme? or close relatives?

Yes, amyloglucosidase and glucoamylase are the same,

here's a thread with pics of a 1/4 barrel setup - he uses it on his stovetop.

http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2322

Why not use a 1/4 barrel - all stainless steel and 7.5 gallons, plenty of space for a 5 gal wash and it will fit on most stoves.

If you use an adapter and a tri-clover you can instantly upscale your column onto a bigger keg later.

I will be adapting the column to my existing boiler. I have a 15 gal keg with the top cut off and a threaded flange on top of a stainless steel bowl.

I love my potstill, been using it for many runs and recently removed the thumper and like it even more. I like to build things and tinker, now that I am happy with my potstill, it's time to make something else to play with. I recently stumbled upon a couple 5 foot sections of 2 inch copper pipe - on...

Here is one of my favorite snacks: Get fresh green jalapenos. Slice in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and veins. Fill with cream cheese with real bacon bits mixed in. (or crabmeat or shrimp or whatever else sounds good to you mixed with the cream cheese). Put on the smoker when you are nearly finish...
