Ya i figured it was a dumb question. I thought there was lead in it but wasn't 100% sure. Sorry im a complete newbie and do u have any advice to how i can get it connected?

I curently am using a aluminum stockpot as my pot and have been having problems soldering the condenser to it. Turns out you cant solder aluminum. I wish i would of known that before i bought the pot. My question is do you think that jb weld work? Any help would be much appreciated.

It was going alright had alittle moonshine coming out of my worm, but it wasn't coming out as fast as i hoped. My buddies and i cooked the mash for about 3 hrs, and produced very little alcohol. By the time it was getting close to finishing my buddy accidently nocked the jar off the table and onto t...

I have a turkey cooker that i am using as a pot and it is aluminum. I have been trying to solder a copper pipe to it and it won't stick. I have scraped the pot up and still not result.

Oh ok thanks for the help

Im making a simple corn whiskey, im single stilling i think lol (not real sure what that means but i can guess) and the percent wash is 12%. My still is a pot with a 20 ft 3/8" copper pipe that runs a few feet then i turned it into a worm that goes in a bucket that i am goin to fill with water.

Ok i think i am going to use a 3/8" worm, but should i get the 10 ft or should i get a 20 ft pipe?

Thanks i will give it a go tonight

I have a small two gallon still that i recently built, and have been wondering how long it should take me to get done doing a run if i fill it 80% full? One other question is how full should i actually fill the pot?

Im just getting started and would just like to know any advice the more experiences distillers have for me. I have been reading alot of articles on the distilling and learned alot. Any advice would me much appriciated. Thanks

I was watching moonshiners on tv the other day and they made a mash out of bananas. Does anyone know how many bananas i should put in per gallon, and if i should cut them up or anything? Any help would be much appriciated.

I only have a two gallon still that has a copper line running over and turns into a worm which is in a bucket of cooled water. I am wondering what size the worm should be. I have a 3/8" one, but should i go bigger?

Thanks, you made the consept very easy to understand.

Is it a good idea to try and keep the leftover cornmeal that is in the bottom of my jug out of my pot when i distill it, or should i not worry about it? Any help would be much appriciated.

Ok so i am planning on making a still out of a pressure cooker. I got a pressure cooker and a 20 ft 1/4" copper pipe. I have a 1" cork that i am going to drill a hole in and stuff the copper pipe in. I am going to drill a hole for the cork to fit in in the pressure cooker. I am going to ru...

Thank you very much that is exactly the kind of answer i was looking for.

I meant how do i know that the still is done getting the alcohol out of the mash? Idk if thats any better sorry

Thanks for the help.

I made a mash with 2 lbs of sugar, 2 lbs of corn meal, and 2 gallons of distilled water. Im just wondering if anyone knows how much this could possibly make. Another question is how do i know when my mash is done producing alcohol when im cooking it. Very thankful for any help.
