Home Distiller

Sounds great and I'm planning a batch or 2.
I can't get molassas here but I have taken 3 gal of raw juice of sugar cane and simmered it down to 2 galons. If I went further I guess I would have molasses.
Hard to get 20-0-0 fert here also. will tomato paste work as well?

OK WIKI has backset in the glossary. Backset is "left over liquid after a distilling run used to add the the next mash"
backset = backwash right?

Post it is a great idea. I may not be the only "shine vocabulary challenged" person here.

I've been reading till my head hurts and it's not a hangeover.
I keep coming up with new terms that some of which, I can't figure out. Backwash, whats that?
Is there a glossary of some kind on this site for dummys like me?

indirect haet from the sun to dry the malted corn such as?? under black plastic?

Thanks for all of the welcomes. Yea bushman ky to Hondo is a big difference and I must say for the better. I am on the Carribean and love. Just got back from the Island this pm. Planned to do some fishing but the wind was too strong.

I have been basiclly making vodka in the reflux still. I want more flavor. I am also, believe it or not, in an area where cracked corn is almost impossible to find and whole kernel corn is not easy. That's ok cause I want to malt the corn anyway. After the corn sprouts, can I kill it by boiling? OR;...

I have a turbo stomper bought 8 years ago from stilldrinkin

Hi, I have a reflux still but want to use it as a pot still as I have access to pure sugar cane and want to make rum. If I remove all of the copper packing, will it work as a pot still?

Hey, Hondo Gringo here. (H G for short) I'm joining from Honduras. I made some shine a couple of years ago and am ready to do it again. I never made much while in Ky but now I have more time to learn and practice. I have a turbo reflux still with a 15 gal boiler and wanr to make some good stuff.
