Re: Stills from China

I have removed the onion as I think it was causing too much reflux? With it I had to use a lot of power to get it to run nicely. Also make sure you only half fill the double wall boiler you want steam to build inside to make it heat efficiently. You want steam to build up in it to make it heat effi...

Re: Persimmons

You got my attention, lol! My favorite fruit. They are a favorite of mine. They make a excellent Mead, wine and brandy. Wait till they are ripe enough to shake off the tree and they will be almost syrupy sweet. Seeds are non toxic so makes prepping a breeze. Mush them up good seeds, skins and all. ...

Last 2 posters need to reread rules we live by . 2 and 8 comes to mind . Fair enough I would bring to your attention 8.
