Home Distiller

The primary ferment was about 7 days. Then I racked it, I suppose the beer guys would call it a secondary ferment. I suspect a lot of the reaction was cause by darkness and high ambient temperature. It has been racked for a few weeks.

Here it is in all its glory, if anyone is interested in seeing what happened.

Well I decided that I might as well taste it. I originally did a finger test before I racked it and it tasted somewhat harse but no different from other sucessful washes I have tried. This wash actually seems much smoother despite the odd color change. I wonder if this will give me a finer quality d...

I fermented a sugar wash similar to ujsm and it seemed to come out fine, i did this in a plastic food safe bucket. I couldn't distill it right away so i racked it in to another bucket and sealed it.

Damn, thats pretty harsh news. Sorry to hear that. If you stopped would your lung functions ever improve or potentially stay the same?

Damn that looks good, maybe you should start building these for sale

Well the keg boiler was my orignal plans, i was thinking of doing it with water heater elements but living in an apartment makes it difficult to find the space. Since i will be purchasing a home soon i am just going to use a flour dough seal to hold the column to the bowl so i can remove it later an...

I have been lurking for awhile soaking up some information, so now its time to get down to business. :twisted: I am working on building a simple pot still, i am not one for neutrals so this is going to be used mostly for whiskey and possibly a little brandy. So far i have built most of the column. M...
