Not looking for argument at all. I was noting the couplings not your nuts.

LOL! AC, quit checking out his nuts!

guys, this is the good stuff. Made easy. I'm a sugar head guy overall, but I did this. Well worth it. Jimbo strips away all the mystery, confusion, and the snobbery, lol. Easy, great, and sized proportionatly, this this a winner! If you have been running uj stuff and considering trying ag, try this....

Ozone! I will pm you as to not take this too far off the op's direction. It sounds like you have tried what I am thinking of...

Jolly,
KCCO brother. You got lots in your corner. Best of luck

Myles, As always, a great answer. I built some of the "pintoshine" style injectors for mashing all grain that people have been really happy with, was wondering how much more could be done with them....Kinda like tater's avitar type of thing. But because I wonder about it doesn't mean its p...

Looking great! What are you using for plates? Details on the reflux condenser?

Not Cape Cod, but if you continue up 45 mind or so to Boston you can check out Bully Boy distillery and Grand Ten Distillery. Only 10 or so minuites apart!

This is something I am interested in. Inject steam into a mash tun for temperature, ferment on the grain, distill on grain,again, via steam injection. Has this project progressed? Or are there other members who can chime in? There seems to be valid and legit interest in this. Can a mod perhaps combi...

I know I am a bit late to the party, as usual, but I have great results by putting the items in a big piece of round ductwork or flue pipe. It keeps heat in and reflects it back at the piece you are working on. Its a cheap blast cabinet Kinda.

Hey guys,
I am south of Boston have a couple of buddies who are in the game, always looking for more. I build a bunch of stills, feel free to reach out.

The single bubble cap has been done elsewhere with good results, I think OD did one as well...bieng a bubble cap you will need either weir walls or a liquid tight seal to the walls of the column. Not a big issue but a detail that needs to be addressed. Somewhere I have a drawing of a cap with an int...

Jimbo,
All I can find locally is bags of wheat bran (flakes). I assume its not what you use..worth trying you think?

ahh shit. i am so bummed. not a frequent poster here, but i seek out MR posts. I recently commented to a friend that you do some of the most interesting experiments and the best posts. i wish we didnt live on opposite coasts. funny how you can feel close to some asshole you never had contact with! I...

i think I'd like some of that bean whiskey Sir, I think the mighty bean would surprise you oh, I wasn't being smart, that sounds right up my alley. let me know if you start a thread on that, i'll be the first suscriber but on topic, nuking. its good. i bought a yard sale micro for the garage. i don...

i think I'd like some of that bean whiskey

in my limited experience with the nuke treatment, it is very similar to making hot brewed tea. you quickly get color and taste components from the oak, but no fundamental change in the spirit itself, like time will do. imo you are adding only an oak flavor to the spirit, which is a good thing and m...

I hear that, i think if it was just a jar ofclear water, it would end up a warm jar of clear water. I love me some sun tea, but without the tea, its just warm water.

Greatesr.post.ever.

I was pretty nervous about the "boil" as well. But if you look closley, I think you'll see the it is actually bubbles (air?) Comming out of the wood. It was in my case anyway. This is confirmed to work great with dwwg.

hell yeah I want pics!

Shout,
You are right on. By refluxing the column, I believe that the fores and a lot of the heads get compressed at the top of the column. As you take off product, the hearts seem to expand, if you will. This makes for long, beautiful heart cuts.

They are cool. And they can be useful tools, indicating what is happening during the run. What will you see on a pot still? Prolly not much...but it may fog up as the tails come on? Give some details on what the build is. But the short answer is, I haven't met anybody yet that wishes they DIDNT have...

I guess the trick is to not use your plated coumn to go around whacking things. If you want to whack something, use a boka.

Lol!

Cant go wrong with a bubbler! 4 or 5 plates, caps or perf plates, its all good!

Hi, I work for a plumbing supply house, will be happy to help answer any questions you have. Cant ship, not looking to sell any thing,just to help. Copper fittings are commonly availible in two grades, pressure (standard) and DWV. DWV is a lighter grade, used in Drainage,Waste, and Venting. It is mo...

A few have posted great results with packed sections and bubblers,EG and crow, and mash rookies all come to mind. I operate with hieght restrictions, but with I am very happy with the product I get by running twice. Just like a pot still, hard and fast stripping run followed by spirit run. It is sti...

br,
can you describe the proceedures oyu need to follow once "legal"? in terms of recod keeping, reciepts, labels, ect....practical advice from somebody who has done it type of thing. what we should expect when, if, they come by, what they will be looking for

im in that area, happy to let you know....pm me with some details
