At room temp it will last till any insect eggs hatch. In the freezer long enough. Purged with nitrogen even longer. I don't know how long newly hatched insects will last in a vacuum bag because that's not a perfect vacuum. As an old HVAC guy, pull the deepest vacuum you can. Break the vacuum with d...

For me I always use 45 or 50 % silver and the appropriate flux, but I billed it to the client too. Made copper to stainless very easy.

Pen 10w30 can take 450 or 500 but it tends to flavor meat.

I named my product Bob. I talk to Bob a lot.

My approach would be plant it, pick it, shell it, mash it, ferment. If I got free seed, I’ll use it.

Mesquite and peat are 2 different smokes, but I want to hear your results.

Hi Scout, Welcome! Take of them kids!

Welcome!

“Producers Pride All Grain”. Is “Sweet COB”. Sweet Molasses, Corn Oats, Barley.

Grain is getting expensive enough they have taken to adding alfalfa pellets and the like.

I know and understand nothing about essential oils. I do know how to scorch a thick mash. Steam will be your friend.

When I was dating my wife, she had a kitten. She still had it when we married. That damn thing hung on for 23 years, just to spite me.

I believe that is used to make hominy as well.

Hey Uper, Welcome!

6 inch pipe with 6 perforated plates should do neutral ok. My experience is I could not cool it well enough. The power to fill the plates took bunches of cooling for the product condenser. 60 degree cooling water could nor fow fast enough to stay ahead of the plates,

I heard that a horse feed mash did a great whiskey. ( you know, sweet feed). Being vegan I ate the entire bag of producers pride all grain sweet feed before I could try to “mash” it.

Picking up any COB has been a trick at TSC. Many stores don’t carry it and can’t order it in. See if they have feed molasses and add that in.

Assuming this is the first alcohol run through the still, it will have nasty things in it that will not distill out.

I built one this way, but went with 2 inch ball valve and 90. Had a 4 inch tri clamp on top. More for cleaning, as I ran a 3 inch outlet.

As a boiler you may not have any trub or solids to plug a one inch valve.

The worst hang over I ever had was from turbo yeast. Worse than MD 20/20.

I cant find the Gerber Barley anywhere. But Wal-Mart has an Oats, wheat and Barley cereal mix. https://www.walmart.com/ip/3-pack-Earth-s-Best-Organic-Infant-Cereal-Whole-Multi-Grain-8-oz-Box/191853654 Would this be a viable cereal. I'm really trying to stay away from a turbo wash for my sac run, an...

OK, my opinion, 3/8 rod is too small to take the heat, regardless of the fastening technique. Angle iron frame to lift the tank and heat, 1/2 inch threads to adjust at the bottom, away from the heat. I found this chart online . At 750F a 3/8" rod can stand 572 lbs of max load. I planned on usi...

Wil-lh, I had to laugh at the “ the devil you dance with...”. Comment. Do we make the state fire marshal happy, or the Medicare/Medicaid inspector happy. Or the Joint Commission surveyor happy, or that doctor that does not care about anything but “me”.

Make your set point 250 and don’t worry about it.

WileE Coyote- You can brew whatever you want. But you have to check with your Facilities Director and Risk Management Director before you use anything you brew up in the hospital. The risk is huge. And I mean HUGE. You could loose everything you have worked so hard for. HOMELESS is not out of the qu...

I too am in the healthcare field. You are risking a huge fire using high proof alcohol on surfaces. Hand sanitizer needs to be 70 percent or better to kill bacteria and viruses. Do not “aerosolize “. It. Do not saturate surfaces with it. It only takes a spark to ignite. Ask your State Fire Marshall ...

Thanks, a divine to distill with vacuum.

OK, What, in very specific terms, is a rotary evaporator? Please pardon my stupid.

Ok, an answer that is not helpful, not technical, and a bit disrespectful, (Sorry).

“Just before you quit drinking..”

Hey Boom, I call my still “Slut”. Because it really puts out. Sort of on topic!
