living in california I completely understand wanting to hallucinate........an alternate universe is preferrable

wow ....do you all not ever go to the movies?.....

I saw my neighbor in town and he yells hey it's happy hour...so we went for a drink....after about three some girl comes over and say hi fred he turns and i guess knew her so she gave him a one arm hug....he looks at her and says hey baby ...you wanna fool around? she was 20 years younger and outta ...

During heat up you should have no vapor coming out of a boka...or any time after that if you have sufficient cooling of the vapor stream.....get a nice comfortable chair and some form of entertainment and SIT RIGHT BY YOUR STILL. Feel your column and keep feeling it as the vapor climbs the column......

so we have isis beheading burning and killing anyone they disagree with and it's france's fault for fighting them and this is the punishment that they get....is that what someone said?

i need a drink

how about you just stay thhere and watch the still like you are supposed to and turn it off if the pump fails?

48cents a pound!!!! nothing that cheap in california.....99 is considered chheap here

6 times distilled means you closest comppetition has five tives on their label

i have an 8 year old agave in my yard,,,any one want to pay for shipping you can have the pineapple for 50$!

Generally when a company claims 6,10,20 etc distillations they are counting each plate in a column. I believe Titos vodka is pot stilled therefore they would run it through the pot still, dilute and rerun 6 times in that order. Windy, I think you are probably right about the plates. There is a dist...

well sorry for the false alarm....my friend that does the fermenting must be color blind...I posted that before I actually saw it in person....he sent me a picture and then told me he enhanced the green...i filled a quart jar and held it up.....not even close to green and the run turned out fine. Tu...

I did a batch of corn whiskey and for the first time used back set in the old batch,or what was left of it in the fermenter,and it has turned a dark green. Anybody ever seeen this.
all that was used was more sugar from the same 50$ bag and more corn also from the same bag

any good hardwood supplier for cabinet shops...or the cabinet shops themselves will have some white oak...A three dollar piece will last you for a year.I get it for 5$ a board foot and have oaked many batches with that three dollar piece.

to get the solder off the inside of a 2" fitting just find a piece of scrap pipe,wood handle or even pvc that fits LOOSELY inside the 2" fitting .Get an old cotton sock and pretend it's prom night and wet that sucker, heat the fitting up and stick it in while it hot and slide it around :eb...

leave the labels on and don't fill them all the way....if you don't know why well you must be a victim of the public school system

If you have access to a compound miter saw you don't need a template...set the bevel to 30 degrees and set the depth adjustment for the appropriate depth and you'll get perfect 30 degree cuts to a perfect depth in no time with a good sharp carbide blade...just make damn sure the pipe is held in posi...

if you have a pot still are you running the same speed on the second distillation?

no problem you are just leaving some potential fermentibles you spent money on un fermented...kinda like poring a beer out before it's empty...if you can live with it .

Went fishin yesterday in my 14.5 foot lowe duck boat...set out from mission bay in san diego and had 12 gallons of gas..20 hp three stroke(i went with the economy model that extra stroke got costly)...got her up on plane and headed to the 181...34 miles out...all this in the dark since the start tim...

I hope you "lubricated" the crew with some home made along with a tip

supermarkets that have a bakery have icing buckets that are food grade and will mostly give them away if you ask. You even might get lucky and get to lick icing off your fingers on the way home.The five gallon ones have a rubber seal in the lids too!

send through a charcoal filter.....my friend who is somewhat of a super taster says he gets a flavor he doesn't like on some neutral runs that gets eliminated by a brita filter

here is my stillin guard dog

here's one

a five gallon bucket will work.....you'll just need two and have to keep an eye on how hot they get and change them out....but why bother when you can get 35 gallon trash cans fill two and do an entire run with out moving the pump at all if you are smart enough to figure out how to make the two work...

I'm an equal opportunity drinker!!

I've made some vodka that friends say is as good as any they have ever had and a couple types of whiskies.....seems they have all been good to execellent.

This scared me when I realized why it was acting up..... keg with a boka....my new friend that lives remotely so has a very nice place to run a still has helped me a lot...but on this one thing it could have been ugly. After cutting ties with a different person(long story of loose lips) and finding ...

just want to further knowledge here thanks everyone
