Home Distiller

Well, maybe in the future I would change my mind on the size of the drain valve, but as for now, I've been using 1/2" valves for homebrewing for many years, and imho, is not that painful to drain 30-40L through them. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I think if after your several-hours-run ...

the 2" port will be used to install the colum. I know a 1" valve as a drain won't hurt anyone, but I don't know why, but I'm used to use 1/2" valves for homebrew, so that's why I decided to use it here. Also this way I can add a camlock connector in case I want to use the pot also as ...

Cool, thanks for the two hints.

Good to know that at that proof won't be much problem.
And thank you very much for the hint on the Google Search. This will ease my investigation a lot.

Thx!

Hi Guys, probably this has been already discused in the forum, but the search engine is ignoring the word "Plastic" so I can't get the result I want. My doubt here is this: I'm starting to build my boiler using a stainless steel beer keg by adding some ferrules and a 1/2" dump port. F...

Woo, good so then I'm not as wrong as I suspected. What I didn't knew was I have to pull some heads every time, but actually makes kind of sense. Anyway if as you tell, it doesn't take that long, then I might be able to get enough time at some points, but it it's great to know I'm not completely los...

Ok, then for me is much better XDD actually a relief...

but just for the sake of curiosity, is what I said something remotely close to possible?

cheers!

Hi everyone, I joined the community a couple of weeks ago and I've read a lot (and I mean A LOT :crazy: ) and there is something that keeps me thinking and I'm not so sure it is possible at all or maybe yes but have some involved problems or what. So, one of my problems for this new hobbie is that d...

Totally agree, and the post, I already readed it and all the referenced there. Therefore my confusion, when I also readed some post on this forum about people using a pressure cooker...

Thx NZChris !! Over all I prefer to be safe than sorry. So you just confirmed what I thought, that is not safe to use them, but maybe my reasons are wrong. I will look for an alternative instead, and in the meanwhile I'll follow your advice and keep reading about it, but at least now I know I must l...

Hi guys, I've spent the last months reading all the "newbie" posts and after that I decided to register in the forum to ask my remaining doubts. So here it is my first one: I'm a bit confused about the use of a pressure cooker as boiler. Honestly I would like to start small in this hobby s...

Hi Guys, I'm Sime from Spain. I've been reading the forum for several months looking for learning about distilling, and finally I decided to start "practical" learning so I thought it would be a good idea to register to be able to ask some doubts and so on, and if possible contribute with ...
