What is the difference in run times between say a 2" Brewhaus pot still and the 3" assuming a 5 gallon run?

Re: Brewhaus Mods
Praire I see that having the extra control with the cooling in the reflux version has to be much better than going strictly with the Liebig version even if only used in pot mode.....maybe they will knock a few bucks off and I'll get an extra hole drilled in the boiler for a 2 element system....thoug...

Re: Brewhaus Mods
One thing I'm worrying over with the 2 piece is the overall height of the assembled piece? I wonder if I could just get the reflux column (I plan on mostly doing pot still type operation anyway) and leave out the column extension, later I could of course upgrade...they say 3' on the column alone so ...

Great suggestions
One thing Id like to try is lowering the sugar a bit on some of these "liquers"

Re: Spaghetti Pasta
Praire It would sort of be like doing a mash with an unmalted grain and a malt grain or amylase for the conversion, even if the starch content was lower on the pasta than the grain itself it could be brought up higher by boiling off some of the water. Madon to think off all the wonderful potential b...

Re: Is It Possible? All Rye Malt or Barley Malt.
Sounds like a straight rye might take a bit of aging, they say it has a very strong flavor which is why they dont often use it at to high a concentration to make rye beers.

Re: Sprouted Flours
Praire Yea Ill try it sometime :) I know on the beer brewing side it's something of a holy grail to find readily available off the grocery store malts for brewing so these might just do the trick. I think they may have these at A&P as A&P is listed as a sponsor under their products at Amazon.

Re: Mahing Wash's/Still vs Brew
You still have to strain it either way. Unless you have a still boiler capable of running on the grain. With out scorching it. So either you strain before fermenting. Or after ferment is done. And you would need a bigger fermenter for on the grain. Sure gotcha, I was thinking ferment "on the g...

Interesting but on the beer brewing side you dont see much about fermenting "on the grain" as you guys do here. Wouldn't simply fermenting "on the grain" tend to eliminate the need for lauter tun and sparging equipment? Of course you would still need to convert the starches and t...

Are you fermenting on the grain with this?
How much head room do you lose in a 6 gallon bucket with say 10 lb all grain bill if you ferment on the grain?
TIA
