has there been any discusion on valved verses bubble cap? been loving all this plate talk and i'll plunge one of these days. sounds like a realy fun project. get to use all my machining equip thats collecting dust. gman

crazy will have himself the proper pyrex soon enough. then his wife can have her candy dish back. gman

been away condencer. pm me if you need some pyrex and i'll ship it to you. gman

what...non of you guys going to comment on the distance from the takeoff to the gate valve? you built a beautiful rig for sure. in the past i've read posts on where to place the gate valve. think most want it close to the takeoff tee to avoid pooling of distilate/heads. then theres the verticle/hori...

looks like an electical knock out tool for punching holes for conduit. sometimes called a greenlee punch. gman

heard the same thing RD. cobra and colt 45 gman

we're pm'ing. i'm just makin all grain goodies and a big batch of rice snowflake vodka. gman

22% dixey...thank god! gman....a damn yankee

of course. thats why i do all grain. gman

thanks for the feedback. sorry sbeg...i'm in the states. gman

sounds like they insulted you. sorry. gman

anyone know when your suppose to harvest roman wormwood/ pontica. have a nice crop and want to pick it at it's best. gman

i say just do what you want. burning man is quite a freek show that i should have gone to years ago. friends made a bus into a boat and drove it there this year. the hull and masts etc were added when they got to the city. pics i saw were amazing. the artwork and sculpture brought to the festival is...

like red said i've had a 3" plate dics for my window for quite a while. they never realy get hot so i don't think pyrex type is needed. i sandwiched the glass between 2 "gaskets" of flour paste and tightened the whole lot together. any leaks were fixed with more paste. simple, cheap, ...

no water?? what sg does straight mollassas have? straight molassas = rum. gman

i'll see shortly if i have a year 3 in my roman wormwood bed. it was a snowy cold winter here in the blue ridge. it spreads fast and seems to like my crappy soil bed i made for it. sent all i harvested to a member on the west coast but never heard from him on how it worked. gman

i'd liken it to insurance......incase the alchohol disappears. gman

anything will work if you can clamp it tight. hell a bunch of spring cips would work. i just like to machine sometimes. copper is tough to machine though. bottom section of the window should slant down so etho won't pool near the glass. that's 1/4" pyrex glass. got a bunch of it. i use rye past...

i made the assembly. that's a led light attached to the front. don't use it. i shine a flashlight into the window to see the reflux. gman

like this. works great and won't steam.realy shows you how much refluxing is going on. gman

maybe you guys are talking about the white bubbly thready film that floats on top of your mash? happens all the time for my all grains. think maybe lattent lacto cause i always sour my corn before fermenting. gman

if your looking for 3" pipe and fittings i have a bunch of extras and will sell for a reasonble price. let me know. gman

thanks for showing us your great work. i always admire anyone who does something very well. hats off to you.....do you do 3d for fun? or profit. gman

i keep buying up steam kettles for no good reason i guess :roll: have 7 of them now and don't know what i'll do with them all but if i need them i have them. maybe an 80 gallon pot still :lol: will sell off a few later this year most likely. your pot needs an external steam generator or boiler. i li...

their stainless steel and are better used as a BOP. gman

don't like the idea of dripping 85% into a hot still. i have a 22 liter glass still i hav'nt used because i'm uncertain about the pyrex flask breaking with 40% in it. i'm a bit paranoid these days gman

hawke i think it's cut on a wet saw and then preheated to ~ 1000 deg f then picked up and worked in the gloryhole. we can only do it with red stripe beer bottles as there ceramic decals will hold up to the heat of reworking. i'll have to get a few bottles and try it. gman

i think the link from stillton has some spam thing attached to it. the ad box follows my curser and i can't open the mum file. realy wierd.gman

traditional coloring herb....thats all. gman

i agree with kirko............spreads like crazy. going to harvest soon and will offer some to ab makers. dont think i'll be making any this year and will want to find a home for this crop. keep you posted or pm me. gman
