Received 9, 4", 16 oz. copper disks for $30. Was searching discs for a shotgun, tried all the normal spots but had never heard of ETSY. A guy is selling all sizes of discs and other interesting copper pieces that would be of interest here, even threw quite a few copper extras in with my order. ...

You need to run 2 tanks into a tee to get the output you want without freezing. That's how I ran propane on my brewery for a long time. Mr. Heater f273737 is a good example of what I am talking about. This is what I need to keep 20# cylinders from freezing and for emptying partially full tanks (cou...

>So another few more thousand infections coming your way :thumbup: :thumbup: way to go to anyone who doesn't think that the virus is a real threat. You mean the virus that 99% of people survive? Yea, I'll gladly take those odds. https://www.oann.com/ucla-stanford-study-finds-for-average-50-64-year-o...

Enjoy being an outlaw mostly, great whiskey goes right along with that desire.

Yep, looks like an air breather tube and a pain to refill without removing the mason jar, though I could be missing something.

If ya build one, maybe do a gallon jug?

A friend was cleaning out his barn recently and gave me 2 kegs that we drank over 20 years ago as youngsters. Coors style, barrel shaped and look almost new.

He even gave me a third, squat 8 gallon? keg that will be nice for doing smaller spirit runs.

Even the bio-weapon virus cannot stop 80 years of Sturgis.

LOVE it!

sweet hat too!

Thought we were already wearing the same camouflage shirts?

The back set into the next ferment is why Uncle Jesse's Simple Sour Mash is sour but without cooking the corn, seems a lacto infection would be hard to avoid. Your's looks nice and familiar. Seen many here on super high numbers of UJSSM generations and it amazes be, because after 3 generations I was...

Welcome

A great read if you missed this: http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11640

Maybe use corn starch and enzymes to convert it? https://www.samyangcorp.com/eng/CO31N/Details/782?pageNo=3&pageUnit=12&pagerSize=10&searchBRAND=FDBT526&searchCATE1=FDCT535 already converted: https://www.samyangcorp.com/eng/CO31N/Details/776?pageNo=2&pageUnit=12&pagerSize=10...

Seen many photos of barrels, this is the nicest looking drip-catcher ever.

Good luck friend!

Even white sugar shine is technically a "light rum", though for flavor you'd want some added panela and/or blackstrap molasses, also beware of foamy oils. Researching "dunder pits" can be scary, but otherwise have no fear of rum. Guessing you've read Bucaneer Bob's thread? https:...

Sorry to hear this Hambone. Lost my girl "Shine" a few years ago, but I jumped right in and got another puppy.

"Wire" just turned two years old this month and is my best buddy, constantly following me around watching me work.

Popping corn for a batch of shine seems a waste of time. I would grind up the kernels to nearly flour and go traditional with enzymes or malt.

Popcorn isn't GMO, so no glyphosate is involved, BONUS!

Would love to see a picture of this

MCH same here, not a very good year for black walnuts, the late freeze this spring really did them in, same with morel mushrooms.


Looks like I'll be trying this next summer as my walnuts are the size of bantam chicken eggs. Not even round.

The Blichmann Hellfire burner has saved me around 15% in fuel per 20# propane cylinder, over my 4 previous turkey fryer burners. The Hellfire is quite stable and low profile, you'll see 55 gallon mash tuns sitting on them. (you can reverse the extending arms for very large pots) Another great thing ...

Something like that? Or male NPT?


Edit: oh, I see you want a NPT hole in the cap, can't say I've seen something like that.

Follow your passion and you'll never work a day in your life.

4 acres of apple trees should supply you well! Welcome.

Is your plan to come off the side of the pressure cooker for the lyne arm? That pressure cooker lid looks pretty busy.

The pressure cooker could hold a nice gin basket someday, if you ever went that direction.

Keep us updated, I like it.

Great start. Think I would skip the pressure cooker, looks to be more trouble than it would be worth incorporating it into your design. Is the pressure cooker sealed with a rubber gasket? If so, the rubber would get eaten up by alcohol vapor unless wrapped in layers of PTFE tape. What kinds of liquo...

Interesting Australian article about Chinese fake honey. Even mentions them turning starches to sugar then feeding that to their bees rather than the bees finding flower nectar. https://www.benefits-of-honey.com/chinese-import.html Also heard that the Chinese have another process of slightly burning...

Please post up pictures of your copper handiwork when completed!

Hambone, I read a thread a few years ago, thinking it was on Pint's website where a guy was embarrassed about buying only a single 53 gallon barrel from the Cooper, so he ordered two and he said "they still seemed a bit annoyed that anyone would want only two barrels". Sounds like you foun...

P1010178.JPG Ordered this grinder a few months back. Some modification were made like riveted on a bucket to increase hopper size, bigger power cord and added stability skids. Just like others report, the grinder came without any instructions, no hopper bolts, the stability crossbar was too short a...

Why, when white sugar is the same price or cheaper?
