I would say: take some sugar, a few times that amount of water and only a bit of yeast.
But then eternal already beat me to it. So take his advice, and take it good.

Re: recipe for pie

Re: Where'd your name come from??
When driving on the Autobahn (freeway) i always tend to drive on the left (fast) lane for most of the time.
It also has a deeper meaning: In my opinions i'm mostly different than other people. I'm kinda 'driving on the "wrong" side of the road', so to say..

Best way to go is to make sure there is not a lot to clean afterwards when you build a still. In other words: work clean and tidy. Not too much solder and / or flux on the joints. And clean each part while you can still can reach it after building it, because a lot of parts will be unaccessable when...

You say you collected about a gallon over a timespan of a bit more than 8 hours.. That's 4 liters in 8 hrs, is about 500 mls/hr. That doesn't sound very bad. Keep in mind that quality takes time. I take my good stuff at abut the same rate. You can go faster, but you'll find that back in the quality....

Hi Riff, UR asked if the starches did convert to sugars, if not there won't be anything to ferment in the first place. Starch conversion is something else than just cooking the grains to make a porridge. It's about taking the enzymes to a temperature at which they work the best (around 63 - 65 degre...

What do you want ? Websites on distilling, even if they are in another language, or no info at all...
And by the way, looking at your location you're a 'spare-German' [reserve-duitser] yourself.

I've had pumps burning out on me. Those weren't meant for continous use, apparantly.. But having read the above posts, i think i might add some thoughts: 1. After the cooling water has been pumped up to the condenser the siphoning action of the water returning to the barrel will help 'pulling' the w...
Macerating is to steep things (fruits or herbs) in a liquid (water, alcohol) to extract the flavours. Like brewing a cup of tea. IMHO: these kind of definitions could also be found on the parentsite (homedistiller.org), the faq section, other sites related to making liqueurs and the ordinary diction...

Guys, lots of discussion on this topic. And luckily most of it makes good sense :D But my vote goes to oil in the double boiler. Vegetable oil (like for deep frying) boils at 180 degrees. As far as i know there is no way a mash gets that hot. So, before the oil even gets to smoke the mash should be ...

The narrower pipe would be cooled down faster, but going from a 42 mm column to 22 mm condenser might, just might, cause somme channeling effect: Vapours pushed up the condenser with quite some speed. And they're more difficult to condense. But since you're using a barrel there would be enough lengt...
