Thank you, and I'd like to just tell you that you did a great job of giving us all the links to us, I thank you on behalf of all those who will take some time to read the information that you we suggests

G, Have you read how to run a thumper? Please read up on it before you try to run a wash. If you charge your thumper with too much wash, it could puke into your worm. Read a while so you know what to do before you need to know it. It'll save you a lot of Q&A time, and you'll be safer. ss Hi sti...

Just checking. You know the first alcohol run gets trashed also. The alcohol will dissolve junk the vinegar don't. I got a gut feeling you need to do a little more reading. Thanks jedneck for the advice, yes i have a smal space in my day to read but i will do my best, And sorry for my inexpérience,...

Thanks, it look like a easy recipe, i din't read the 53 pages but for sure i Will do it for the wash run.

Just looking at that pick. Can you send us a few detailed pics of the Flake stand and worm. It doesn't look like it's plumbed properly. You need a continual downward slope with no part of the condensor rising and falling again. If you do this will cause smearing and huffing as product will tend to ...

Small question, after the first run of water and vinegar, what would be the more economic wash to make, for cleaning, i was thinking of a white sugar and hot water to get a OG 1075 and pitch bread yeast

Sorry for the pic, i just foud a program to resize my pics, so now her is my still, not setup right, just finish to clean it.

Hi to you sunshine state, Nice forum her And hope u the best with your shine.

Hi to you, lots of info her, have a blast from Montreal

Welcome on the forum, yes on this site there is plenty of information and the people are sympatic, good reading.

The pic you see is not my still, mind is the same, but the picture a took is to big to put her, my thumper is a 4 gallons it was a upgrade. And im new at this, cam you specify FLAKE STAND for me i don'...

You're going to have a tough time with such a small thumper and flake stand... Must have been a kit... They are notorious for being shipped with inadequate thumpers and flake stands... You'll be upgrading sooner rather than later... Yes it was a kit, her in Montreal we have a hard Time to find copp...

Perfect so now i know what is left to do.......Go clean And make a wash to run

In the topics of how to clean my still, they say To make a light vinegar and water solution, but they do not say the percentage of vinegar to be incorporated to make this solution, I would not like to make a solution too strong.

Thanks, i did’n tinking of it, i was going true the post of "new to distillation " And not find it....

I just gotten my all Cooper still, i clean it with soap the best i can, and made the first run a water test, the problem which I have its that my finale products exit muddled with an funky odor of Coop, and at the beginning the water was bluish, so I believe that I need to wash it more, but I do not...
