Nice to see fellow Albertan

I agree Skeeter pee too good, so is Dragon Blood the berry version of skeeter pee,although it would be an easy wash, if you try report back

Thanks for all the info,however my question was will 10kg of grains,and a total of 40l of wort fit in my 60l keg boiler

I have done one small run of AG to date (20 litres) 3kg corn, 2 kg of malt barley, boiled water ,then poured into a cooler that I have, was a pain to get it out after words, currently use a 50L keg pot still, and have a 60 l keg for BOP, I would like to do a full run, (40L), rather than use my coole...

I run a propane torch rigged up to a steel rim, 50 litre keg. I can go from start to drips in about 40-45 min, also in garage with door open, the only thing with the orange flame is you get soot on the bottom of your still, easy to clean off though, my collection point is approx 4 feet from my burne...

Made a batch of Rogers Tequila recipe back in March, and I have read about letting the liquor breath , I had an idea to make mason jar lids out of cardboard and wrap in Teflon tape ,this would be the lid under the ring,this way it could breath.When I bottled it (jarred) back in March it was right at...

welcome, always nice to see a fellow Aberta shiner, journeyman welder -should make a nice still ,As stated, lots of reading to do, but well worth it,

So did a sugar wash today however had to stop midway and shut her down( doing spirit runs) 27 l of 40% low wines. Gonna fire up tomorrow where I left off, question I have is will there be any benefit to pour what I have run off so far back and

I use a propane tiger torch and a tire rim , holds a keg perfectly. Takes
30-40 min to reach temp

I always run it down to 20%, I would like try go lower some time just to see when the oily stuff comes , so far at 20% still comes clear,

40 litres of UJSSMW , generation #2

Thanks for all the info, outside temps are suppose to warm up , so with that and blanket it will help with mash temp, It has been fermenting for 8 days now, I am at 1.010, Glad it is not maggots and don't have to throw it away, I used the yeast bed from a previous birdwatchers, thanks again all.

Can anyone tell me if this looks right, The
white things look like maggots I have my fermenter in the garage it is roughly 65 deg f in there
