Re: Undrinkable, please help

I did not mix in the 250 ml foreshots, or the 500 Ml of what I thought was heads nor did I mix the first two 600 mason jars. So basically I did not mix in the first 2000 ml.

Re: Just getting started

Quick question. I have looked through the whole plastic debate but cannot seem to find the answer. I want to make Vodka. I built the Boka, then a built a pot still to do my stripping. I made a 100 Liter wash of Birdwatcher in two 50 liter batches in food grade plastic. It came out beautifully. I rac...

Re: Just getting started

Thank-you guys for your answer to my question. Obviously you all know way more than I know. I hope you don't mind me asking this question. :idea: In the links that Larry posted there is a diagram by Samohon » Wed Jan 26, 2011 12:48 pm for a Nixon / Stone Offset Head. So if I built the same outfit, w...

A little help would be greatly appreciated. I have built my 2" slant plate column, built a water cooler using a 100 gal container, with a sump pump. Ran it with the vinegar run, worked like a champ, then did a cleaning run also worked great. Then I just finished making up a 100 L bird watcher's...

Re: Twin Slant Plate the full still -- Liquorice Stick

Excellent. I just took two 8" stub outs, cut 2" inches off each one (giving me a total of 12" including the coupler. Cut a 1/4" hole at each end. Ran a 1/4" tube through, wrapped it with 12/2 copper wire and added 1/4" in-flow and out-flow stubs at each end on opposite ...

Re: Twin Slant Plate the full still -- Liquorice Stick

I am new at this so I am not sure where to ask this question. But here I go. I like the idea of building the parrot onto the side of the column (Liquorice Stick) my question is: if the out put cup on the top is a 3/4" to 1 1/4" reducer (which is what I used) the actual stem of the parrot i...
