+1 jasper, its best to keep it like scientology, you have to pay the money to find out the secret

Id say your better off taking that 30$ and buying a sack of corn and some sugar and doing something about it. Sending it to lobbiest is a total waste

You definately want the shorter delph, the shotgun will not control as well, (or at least WAY SLOWER reaction time). Now on the torpedo, I found it cheaper with the 4X4X3 "T". And a little more chamber girth there over the smaller torpedo. Wether it makes any faster I'm not really sure. Yo...

Here's a good quote that will prove very true

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln

This post was a great idea, thanks to all that has and will serve to defend our country. Unlike the liberal media, there is some real Americans still left out here in the civilian world :thumbup: Here I leave you with one of General George S Patton's famous quotes "May God have mercy upon my en...

+1 paramedic First I want to thank you for your service to our great country. The truth is finally here We have come to a point where we have a little more than half of the people "sit on their asses" an a little less than half the people "workers (AKA suckers)" It is what it is....

That looks great, the only thing your gonna have an issue with is that clear plastic hose, it will melt shut when it goes into refluxing. Use 1/2" OD pex pipe hot ass water won't bother it at all.

In America, Alaska is probably the last Wild West that people pretty much do what they want. But it's too damn cold and expensive. I use to know someone from there and they said we pretty much do what they want

Boomtown I haven't made an all grain myself yet, if I did I would probably stick with NChooches http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=17750 Now I'm not the one to ask, and not sure what % this kind of was turns out. But I bet you can make some as good if not better with a little ti...

One of these days I'm going to use cold tap water with the discharge going in the barrel, just to see really how much water you would really go through during a run. Too bad we didn't have a swimming pool That would be the best way to recirculate

I'm like y'all, it gets frustrating all this damn work. At least we ain't getting any handouts. I'm lucky to have a job , you can't take that for granted nowadays

Just throwing it out there, but has anyone tried the truck radiator with electric fan method? I REALLY think that would knock temps down quick. I have a swamp cooler design myself (thanks Wacabi for the idea) and it works fairly good, but in the middle of the summer and a couple of stripping runs wi...

You definately need a heat sink, I like to have a small fan blow on mine as well. Heat is the big killer of electronics

Boomtown, a lot of the tried and true recipes are what you need to be shooting for here at first. A lot of them turn out washes of about +/- 10%. With that being said, your washes ferment out much quicker, it keeps your yeast (including bread yeast) WAY under their stress levels, therefore when you ...

Bread yeast

Looks like a BOK, most people would build a pot still first I would figure. All those illegal drugs and the headline was a moonshine bust. The media, don't you love them

Thanks for sharing this, I haven't heard of this. I bet Jack will love this, no barrels, no aging, surely it will be cheaper right? I bet not

You know David I was talking to a buddy the other day leaning up against his truck, I picked out a ripe brown acorn out of the back cracked it and ate it. It was rather pleasant tasting. Not like the ones we tried to eat as a kid that were extremely bitter. It would make an interesting coffee I bet....

This is a interesting and different thread, I hope to hear more on how it turns out Wacabi

Dpschein, when I built mine, I washed as good as possible with high pressure water, poured vinegar through it, then poured heads through it, then ran heads through it directly out of the still, then officially started using it on the hearts :thumbup: I wished it was easier to clean it, but the flux ...

Everyone make sure your propane bottles are filled up

Grilled, do some searches on google that will point you back here. The search engine on here is the first thing to try, if nothing, :thumbup: check on google. I'm not big on the spiced rum myself, but I do know people do it with cloves, raisins, and orange peels or zest. You will find it just keep l...

Early tails can be a little tricky to find, and I've had them make some spirits cloudy

So I wonder if one of jacks kids is bleeding or was it Jemma? It looks like this season they are killing off a bunch of characters. I hope they aren't getting ready to call it quits. Surely not, it's a pretty successful show.

Skunks are on the move right now, I see a lot of them dead on the road. I throw moth balls under the trailer to keep them out if we have problems with them wanting to hang out under there. Now with that being said Here's a really nice recipe http://bertc.com/subfive/recipes/french_fried_skunk.htm&qu...

Yes thanks shinendine, very detailed and much appreciated. I'm still trying to find a good used box, I hadn't wanted to shell out the money yet. I will find a used one if I look long enough. I love your setup

You would have to have some pretty big kahunas to sell your whiskey. Personally I don't think they are looking at small craft distillers. After seeing how they produce it on these shows, I'm not sure if I would ever drink anything that wasn't commercially (or made myself). And not to mention, as eve...

If you do decide to go with a single burner unit http://www.chefscatalog.com/product/26226-broilking-single-burner-hot-plate.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow :thumbup: :thumbup: I have one of these as well, made in USA, uses USA Robertshaw thermo...

Mr P is right, when distilling properly and watching your cuts, further filtering is not needed. If you screw up your run, dump it in your next batch and re distill. I have NEVER filtered any of mine. And on the plastics thing, the mentors have explained why to not use plastic. If you don't care wha...

That is a damn good series, I also like justified as well
