I'm speechless...
Welcome, revdjtonyc.

Since I respect your angle on this, NZChris, then I'll have to concede that cayars is correct in saying "Kiwi's method is for novices who don't know how to do cuts/blends..." Attaining the " Blend, taste and judge " level is still far away and untrustworthy for me , so until I ga...

Point taken, cayars. It was a little levity on my part. All those little numbered jars with cuts provide a unique situation when all your liquor components are separated. Once mixed, you can never return to this point, so it's your time to shine! The cuts mature nicely after twenty-four hours of air...

I like that you're using those numbered collection jars, FLOB.
If they're for Kiwi's cut method, It's the best only way to make cuts.
... and I would've grunted like Tim Allen when flipping that 240vac breaker on.
Good write up.

Welcome, Bluegil422!

Welcome back to the game!
Good luck with your build.

There's lots of happy T500 users here. We can't ALL start with Rolls-Royce equipment, so you know what you do? Above all, be safe . Be knowledgeable. And make the best liquor you can. People have been doing this thing successfully for hundreds of years under conditions that I'm sure sometimes would ...

Unless the malted barley is at least 150°L diastatic power, you may not have enough conversion power.

Hi ForteTu, and Welcome to Home Distiller!

Howdy right back at you, agg2001.
This is a great hobby when you like what you're making.
And if you have to give up motorcycles, I think distilling's a great substitute.
Good luck with your new still, and Welcome!

Greetings, decodeX5, and Welcome to Home Distiller!
Count me as an Odin's Gin advocate, too.

Sorry your native distilling site went down, but you appear to get along with English quite well.
I think you'll be happy with us as a replacement. Welcome to Home Distiller!

Your sugar wash looks like skim milk?

I operate an 8-gallon, 1500-watt electric in my (pretty much open-space) basement. Three things start up at once when I begin: •The 1500-watt (modified, non-cycling) hot plate for the boiler •The recirculating water pump to the Liebig condenser from an open 60-quart cooler •A box fan blowing over th...

If you want to push this fermenting thing into the realm of alcohol extraction,
you've come to the right place. Welcome to Home Distiller!

That sounds great, Mazim! I am looking forward to reading about your experiences!
Welcome to Home Distiller.

Sure you can listen to all these suggestions, mekks082.... ...or you can take a suggestion from someone who once saw Yoko Ono in person! Oh yeah. That's correct. You read that right. My recommendation for you is to review Booner's Casual Corn . It's primal, and corn is cheap, and you'll get to use t...

Greetings, HikingViking! Building a pot still is a great approach to begin learning so much. Sometimes when my mind soars (sores) with all the intricacies of distilling, I have to reel it back into the basics of what we're really doing here: simply, coaxing alcohol out of a solution. That's the valu...

Welcome, BigHoss_ZW. Electric heating has its own rules in the world of distilling. Stills require heat management as opposed to temperature management to obtain ideal output. Since this is the Welcome Center, I don't want to get us in Admin trouble by discussing a specific topic here. But you may w...

Glad to have you here.
Welcome to the fun!

Thanx for pointing out that article, 6 Row.

Welcome to Home Distiller!

It's disappointing to see mankind subject to ridiculous distilling prohibitions & punishment, so please be careful, noooze . Good luck acquiring the equipment you need, and in the meantime check out our Tried & True Recipes for some captivating concoctions. Welcome to Home Distiller !

You've dropped into a great site to accomplish all your distilling dreams. Take the blue pill to believe all the myths.. = or = Take the red pill and accept all the realities of the hobby through reading and research.. (..alas, that's just a metaphor because the cops told me they better not catch me...

Has anyone ran a copper mesh 24" column under a 20" 4 plate column? Hey Salmoneater22 ---Welcome to the fun ! The Admins want to keep the Welcome Center for Hello's and How Are Ya's, so put your column question in the correct forum to keep it on topic, please. That'll keep 'em from yellin...

Welcome, SRFFC!

Coopering amazes the hell out of me. Those tapered bendy staves all fitting together
precisely to create a liquid-tight container. What an art, and I wish you all the luck with it.

Nice to have you here. Welcome!

Beer brewing is a fine prerequisite to distilling as it teaches the strict fermentation processes necessary in both arts. Bad fermentation methods increase the probability of rotten beer and unimpressive liquor. So, understand your brewing ferments, and pay attention to what influence and chemistry ...
