Re: Don't copy this guy.

Oh damn. He uses three electrical coffee pot coils to cook that mess in the box. He expects to get $500 worth of moonshine from it. :crazy:

Re: EZ pulled Chicken (tastes like pulled pork)

They have these bags of chicken at Albertson's too. I got some the other day for 65 cents per pound. They were not on sale though. Sometimes I get them for 39 cents per pound.

I'm gonna try this recipe. Looks good. :thumbup:

Re: Vinegar oder in most recent wash

I had one 5 gallon batch turn to vinegar. It was a racked UJSSM which sat for maybe 4 months over summer. The way I understand it is a layer of co2 sitting over the wash will protect it from the vinegar bacteria acetobacter aceti which which turns alcohol into acetic acid which is the main component...

Re: novice question about spent wash

If it's a new still it could be from the crud left behind when the still was made like flux or maybe oxidation. Maybe another cleaning run will help. It's recommended to do at least two cleaning runs on a new still with a new still or one that has had some modifications to it since there's so much c...

Re: Air cooled condenser. I'll NEVER go back to water coolin

Thanks for the link, that's not a bad price shipped. I think the scrubber might help make the condenser more efficient with 3/4" tubing. The liebig on my pot still is 1 1/4" over 3/4" and 23" long and I recently put some loosely stretched SS scrubber into the entire length of 3/4...

Re: Equiptment on auction sites

You would probably be much happier with a 5 gallon or larger than with a 3 gallon because you can run larger washes and it would be easier to make cuts on a larger boiler.

The moon is out again tonight and just as bright as it was last night. No eclipse of course but still a beautiful sight. It's lower in the sky than it was last night but it hasn't been quite 24 hours since I first started looking at it last night so that may be why.
