every time i saw birdwatchers mentioned in the forum... i was thinking it used some cheap birdseed grain in the ingredients :lol: now i finally get round to reading the tried and true section of the forum..... i see it is a sugar wash created by the user birdwatcher :clap: i'll get me coat :lol: tha...

have you taken a look at the concentric pot/reflux hybrid ?

rig a blow off tube on the one that is puking

nice.... window locks....

look like ultra light weight G clamps

or modified lighting hook clamps

I was planning to use hooked toggle latches
bolted onto the tank with SS bolts

thanks rad in my heart, I already knew, you are right KISS (keep it simple stupid) as they say more components = more chance of something going wrong I did think it would look nice with the extra stage of concentric pipe and I doubt you would want or need any further reduction in length not like you...

I have been looking at this design for over a week now I have been thinking of adding an additional jacket to the design as i see it, this would serve 2 purposes first both the inlet and outlet would be at the top ( running counter flow ) second I can have multiple outlets from the inner jacket I am...

sorry yes you are right

I just assumed that the temps were correct ect ect

there are indeed many factors to take into consideration before adding nutrients

and taking SG readings over a few days to confirm it is stuck is the first thing to do

I doubt it is all the way down

why not cut into sections
and join with easy flange and tri-clamps

looks like you got your keg for the boka....

why not take a look at the concentric plan

first select the little box with the arrow on the top
and chose download from the menu



wait until the PDF has downloaded and open in iBooks



enjoy the magazine any time you like

first thing to do with a stuck wine fermentation is add nutrients but use a complete nutrient feed like fermax or tronozymol not a pure DAP nutrient the complete nutrient feeds have other ingredients that the yeast need later in fermentation DAP is most beneficial at the start of frrmentation and wi...

or you could select download from the menu and own the original PDF :-) I have a copy on my iPhone in iBooks.... How'd you get it into the iBooks app? open the magazine page in safari at the top there is a menu select download a new safari page will open at the top of the new page there is the opti...

just try on a few sites and find out

but the spoon feeding answer is yes,
if the site has not blocked the google bots that is

I have been using google for years to search sites by using the "site:<site domain name>" right on the google page

I also use it to find things from different countries
say I look for something from Poland I would use "site:pl"

really helpful feature

No absolutely not following this fool I did say in my post that even me as a noob had spotted mistakes this guy was making :) I saw the aluminium pot, I saw all the plastics I was researching condensers and concentric coils how to wind them on youtube and the title "safety" caught my atten...

I was watching some YouTube videos last night I found something about still saftey, but even me as a noob noticed some mistakes he was making I will see if I can find the link later anyway the guy was running a very basic pot still basically a pressure cooker with a copper coil condenser he ran a fe...

Ahhhh Tatter Patch Kid, thanks....

you remind me, although my must were fermented in days, they were left to clear for weeks before racking.

allow the yeast to tidy up....

I suggest you look at the vintners harvest SN9 yeast for some experimentation http://datum.tv/webfiles/BrewCraft/files/72536_Vintners_Harvest_Wine_Yeast_Brochure.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow as I said, I believe this is the yeast that has been...

don't make beer only wine

and all my friends have commented on the lack of hangover
even after not capable of walking home after a session

is that why I don't get a hangover from my wine ? I thought all home brew was hangover free as you don't use chemicals in production many of my wines are from spontaneous fermentation, but I suspect SN9 is the yeast strain that is dominant in these cases... I don't pitch yeast unless I want a certai...

baby food jars and no lids for the cuts :-) after airing, testing and blending I will store in shop brought vodka bottle I also found stainless steel shot glasses from china if you search on eBay for stainless steel cups 35ml stainless steel cups 70ml these sound like a great solution for your campi...

thank you coyote I think you may be right, I have spent many hours reading until the early hours of the morning, I fear I have run myself down, to the point of making myself unwell burning the candle both ends so to speak safty first, I will not operate the still until my head clears. early night an...

I think I have found the cheapest solution for the cuts

baby food jars

they are cheap, easily available, made from glass

I am truly sorry, I had no idea this was aluminium, I guess I should have thought more before posting I have read about aluminium dissolving and do not want that at all I was hoping someone would point me in a direction for thin steel pressed vestles I just in a flap to get everything I need at hand...

how about some small foil trays ?

this is what I ordered



I have a quite a few glass shot glasses but not enough to do cuts

378ml at 100% but I doubt the air still can achieve anywhere near that

let's say I get around 40% about 800ml

25ml cuts will require over 30 containers

the plastic is to hold the cuts not for drinking

or will storing and airing them in plastic for 24 hours change the liquor in some undesirable way ?

I can use the plastic cups in work for holding screws if that is the case.

awesome, I collect in 25ml samples, label them all and test them the next day mix the best stuff together and dilute to desired strength. and the stuff I don't want, I keep for either other uses or save for reprocessing that is exactly what I will do, wow thank you so much, I think this will turn ou...

thanks again, I have spent much time the past few days & nights in the beginners forum. the amount of information in there is staggering ! there is a possibility of my next still, a vintage copper alembic from the grandparents, but I honestly thought it would be safer to start with the air learn...
