Home Distiller

Well, this link was posted in another thread - http://www.ttb.gov/press/fy14/press-release-march2014.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow . That's straight from the horse's mouth. OK I read this when it was posted and read it again today. I still don...

I have how many were there ? just because a poster thinks its related to the list doesn't mean it is. Has the TTB come and said were now busting people from (a list) when I see that statement Ill know for sure.

Snuffy I think what Brewhaus is trying to say is Not that the ttb could be trusted not to go after and use the list It's that the list wouldn't be useful to them and as would dilute the list they already have which is already too big for them to go after each name. that sounds good but again, if yo...

We have had some change here in my state as it pertains to Pot decriminalizing it for less then 2 grams, but I saw also that the sale or import of ever clear is now banned retailers are permitted to sell off what they have and that's the end of it. Makes no sense to me take away a high proof spirit ...

I live in Georgia, USA. Last year the Tap water was so horrible that I decided to distill my water and bought a 5 Gallon SS Still after I contacted the TTB about the laws in GA and owning a still of just 1 Gallon size was just impractical. I do not have the exact quote from the emails handy for thi...

Wood I agree 100% Brother I also completely distanced myself from any distillation equipment and or any related items just to make sure there is nothing for any law enforcement to arrest me for, even though I could have just gotten a fuel permit to keep my equipment. I would rather there be no reaso...

Family first always Brother. Its My pleasure and I Did exactly the same Bob I'm not on TTB list yet but will be next month so I figure if I'm gonna do this and rest assured I AM, I would need to get rid of everything. I only make what I want to consume in a certain amount of time so no excess laying...

Well I'm no virgin seeing as how my ass has been handed to me plenty in my life. I'm certainly not afraid to have my life pried into. No distiller here and nothing incriminating. so they can come look if they want to waste there time. That said your are correct with your approach and its exactly the...

I signed up and sent an email. There are 3 brew shops in my area that I go to I'm sure one of them would get involved on a personal level. If the info is ready please PM me I'll send my email address so you can send me the information. I don't mind getting my hands dirty and I'm a pushy bastard when...

very valid points Varo. I see a large revenue increase by legalizing on a hobby lvl I personally know a lot of folks that would love to distill if there wasn't a chance they would be arrested. All those folks buying supplies means more revenue. I'm just one person, I'm sure everyone on here knows at...

I can and will make up some flyers for my local brew shops with a link to the site. I think it's important to realize we are hobbyist and don't want permission to do anything other then craft out own sprits for personal consumption, just as were permitted to make beer and wine. I think once folks wo...

yea sorry brother didn't see that till I posted this if you can please delete it

I will be joining the way I see it, if the Police want to see who is distilling its as simple as coming here or other forums related to the subject. Who knows could be one of us posting here now is Gov. If you think being on the other end of a computer terminal not using your real name means your 10...

Hello folks I'm a member on another forum as well as here. I like many of you hope that some day our laws will change here in the states with regards to distilling on a hobby level. I was pointed to a site with some good information that may be a step in the rite direction for us hobbyist. http://ww...

if you have an electronics store like radio shack you can get it there otherwise check online. I use thermal compound daily in my work. Just remember whats been posted you only need a small amount for nice flat surfaces. Put it on the component not the heatsink this will keep things nice and neat. w...

Welcome aboard

Nice artistic touch
Makes me wanna smash my polished homemade parrot and start anew. The little critters remind me of Gremlins hopefully good ones for you.

Very cool stuff I remember doing this in shop class in school but forgot about it till now. I do my own PC board etching, anodizing and plating unless its something big then I take it to a customer of mine who can plate metal. I saw some etching kits at a craft store last week for metal and glass. g...

welcome I also started out making cheese then figured what goes better with cheese then wine 30 years later I'm still making wine, But I now buy my cheese lol
Good luck you'll find everything you need rite here

there are a ton of reasons that things don't boil off at what we deem the proper temp. I used to be a thermo watcher and where I live I get no product till 180*F I was completely confused as Alc. boils at 173*F and lots of nasty stuff before that. I stopped using thermometers except to tell me when ...

HEHE I should have known better we always called it back wash but your rite its backset. However I didn't know you could add it to ferment for sour mash I haven't made any of that, maybe I will give that a go.

if you mean the back wash a percentage of it can be used in a run with heads and tails added to it. other then that I toss it out its not much good for anything else if you run save 50% of the back wash add the heads and tails to it redistill then use 25% of that on the next go with heads and tails ...

Ga Flatwoods Thank You

Welcome Devil I did a few tattoos when my hands were young and still steady, now I'm old and so shaky, if I have a full cup of coffee in my hand it becomes half a cup in minutes lol I love the art form and being a mechanical type of guy I had to see how they work surprisingly there nothing more then...

I posted some pics of my machines on a forum once and ended up having to do a how to from start to running machine lol Was a lot of typing but everyone got to see what goes into making the blank, casting it off, machining and full build including coil winding all the way to tuning it for shading or ...

rite now time is pretty tight as I'm gearing up for Turkey season. I use my shop a great deal making parts for RC use, Tattoo Machines, My motorcycle, Parts for my firearms and my PCP Air Guns. Being able to cast metal is a blessing, I can cast aluminum, brass and bronze in my shop. I have a custome...

I have other hobbies Hunting, Fishing, Radio control. I have a full machine shop in my garage as well as a foundry for ...

Going electric also. I work on SCR systems daily so I have a good understanding of them. I decided to go SCR due to better control over the other set ups I have read about. I will however build SSR set up to test. I have my 5500W element and I TIG welded in all the fittings needed for drain, heater ...
