Home Distiller

Well, did my first run last night and I couldn't be happier. It took me a bit to get the still to the right temperature with the burner that I have but once it was on cruise control it was a sight to behold. My little still held up with no leaks and worked flawlessly. *Throws hat into the air and f...

Trust me. I ain't no salesman and wouldn't use one of these if I was paid too, just trying to give some info.
Oh, an the 110 proof figure is for the carbon filter not the plastic!

I contacted EZ filter last year. The plastic in their filters are fine as long as its below 110 proof. I'll try and dig up their reply email and post it later.

Myself I just use coffee papers if at all!

I think it's more so credibility theft he's talking about! Am I correct in saying this?

How many time during a ferment should i check the "SPECIFIC GRAVITY" ? I did a check at the beginning of the ferment. I'M JUST USING A UJSSM AND I HAD A 1.050 ON 1 JUG AND A 1.030 ON ANOTHER JUG! IM JUST WONDERING!!! Thank you in advance . I usually only check once when it's done just bef...

To be honest mate I think that is more of a display item. Your cuts will be almost impossible to achieve on this small a scale.
One of the HD mentors will clarify on this one?

So are you after a wine or do you have the ability to distill?

I surely am dnderhead. I like to get a bit out of my runs.

Thanks tater I have. Just like to hear what people have experienced is all...
I personally love a blend of red and green apples when doing a batch. Our red delicious here in Australia are super sweet and loaded with sugar content.

Thanks for the quick input guys!
I've been using a reflux for about 9mths now and
Have just picked up a nice hobby pot to play around with.
Anyone have any ideas for fruit blends?

Hi guys,
Love the forum! Such a wealth of knowledge in one place!
Was wondering if someone had a nice apple recipe for my pot still?
I'm after something clean and crisp that isn't too heady.
Appreciate any info you could give?
I'm looking at around 60lt wash.
