Zed, thanks for the link, even after alot of searching i managed to overlook it

cant dissolved co2 in a foamy/poorly degassed wash do this as well?

I’d be interested to know whereabouts on the outside your column that you can feel the sudden change from hot to cold. Here’s my 2c, the hot vapour is hitting the really cold RC and suddenly condensing. This sudden decrease in volume in the column creates a slight vacuum at the top of the column th...

Anybody. Why so much cold steam/ apor?

Oh i can post some rig pics for anyone who hasnt seen mine if the explanation aint clear enough. I have researched all the threads i could find on fogging and still stirrin has some definitely good insight, hoping he will chime in. All this said im about to build a copper dimroth to see if that help...

Ok so occasionally when its cold I get a bit of the fabled condenser fog (©shadylane) i live in new orleans. even when its 40F here the humidity is 80 percent. it happened to me in my old garage running a 900mm liebig, and a little gauze fixed it. the cooling water was COLD as hell in all of these i...

Files, die grinder, or dremel with griding barrel/sanding drum

The cost of it alone says you shouldnt pass it up for free

Ive had a frozen irish coffee made w coffee ice cream and some jameson. Theres a local bar chain that has them but ya gotta get an extra shot jameson so it has a good kick.

I cracked the recipe its not too hard.

That said i use Tully or get tully shot in mine cuz tullamore dew>jameson imo.

My 36 inch liebig got left behind for a 18 inch shotgun. Just saying if its in the budget its future proofing. No hate on the liebig its great but imo a shotty is the large tits.

That shotgun gonna have way more knock down power than a liebig condenser, ifn you can afford it then you got alot of condensing power at yer disposal and it will serve you well on any still you put it on. What I'm saying is i vote shotty.

Welcome to the forum Jogger
When someone says they are a Chemist in Aussie , it usually means they are the person that Dispatches Drugs in a Chemist shop .

What does a NC Chemist do .

We call that a pharmacist
A chemist is a scientist who works with chemistry

I'm drinking white whiskey with a water chaser. The grain bill was equal parts wheat, corn and malted barley. Aged in glass for a little over a year and crystal clear. Since there's not any chard oak to hide mistakes The cuts have to be perfect, when making good white whiskey :ewink: Shady thats my...

Can you eat a wallaby

Cool demy. Thanks

It definitely doesnt break down well ive dumped some corn on the ground from the bottom of buckets before and it sticks around for a good while

I've combined hearts from different grain whiskeys and even brandy and whiskey or rum and whiskey. I have thought of combining low wines but blending heart cut makes more sense unless you've repeated the wash and run so many times you know what the low wines from each wash will land you with flavor ...

Im pretty sure that paper doesnt relate to tiny stills. Compared to the study even our size limit is a tiny still .

I use teflon tape w my teflon gaskets to keep plates from weeping

Use the tape bro

You could think about a tee fitting (instead of the right angle bend) in the exit from the boiler and maybe the thumper too. With a removable cap at the top. Then you can 'shoot' anything you want to shoot, and only turn off the heat for a couple of minutes. Or if you use a modular fitting there yo...

I dont know if they add anything but looks on a small scale

Without mashing only the extra sugar on the cornflakes would add anything but flavor. Maybe add some sugar and some flaked corn or meal for flavor ? Whats in the ale already

If the yeast can tolerate the alcohol, youll be fine. Not saying it will taste good. but best case itll taste like sugarhead whiskey (fine by me) and the spirit wont be as flavorful as it would be at 5 percent. If the yeast cant take it and theres residual sugar you're likely gonna have foaming and ...

Yea the keg is a better choice imo. Get some 2 inch pipe, ferrules, and triclamps. You can use another keg as a thumper too. Plenty of designs including my own here on hd if you search

We gotta make a truth about PID thread

Power control is what you need not temp control.

Do you know what the temperature and humidity were inside the room you were running it in? I run into that frequently, mostly when the temp is cool and humidity is high. The worst ive seen it is from my most efficient condensers when it was 39F with 77% humidity right before christmas Shotgun w col...

Yea if its vapor its gonna be hot. It could be condenser fog from a cool location while everything was heating up. I get a tonne of condenser fog when its cold out

Yea the numbers definitely seem on point i just havent had time to mess with it yet. Definitely a useful tool

You cannot mistske a scorch man, its usually accompanied by smoke, btw.

It was a rhetorical question.
