Home Distiller

It could be a false reading fello instrument. I recommend measuring with a hydrometer... if you don't have one, taste it... fruit wines are very dry at the end of fermentation. Another hypothesis could be some ingredient in your juice.....

I don't think aging is limited to contact with wood. In the distillate there are substances from distillation, substances extracted from the wood plus we have oxygen....these molecules interact in some way so even if you remove the wood the distillate undergoes refinement. Some fruit distillates, fo...

Welcome friend

There are many videos like this on YouTube.... it's an alternative but not the best.. but it's quick

Welcome to HD !

Nice work, yours is the technological version compared to mine (very crude)

Welcome! In the past I built myself some speakers because I was a DJ at 18th birthday parties (here in Italy we celebrate coming of age at 18). I didn't have much technical knowledge. but I liked building them...I'm passionate about DIY.

Welcome!

You can dilute with water and add more alcohol to recover the alcohol content....The flavor will be diluted however......

It would seem like this......if you want to test the fan you could power it with a small power supply, for example a mobile phone battery charger.... so you are sure that the fan is ok

Don't get me wrong... YouTube is a very useful medium, I also upload videos... but some people show absurd things when it comes to certain things. I am Italian and I have seen absurd things on Italian videos....according to them you can obtain pure alcohol only by mixing water, sugar and pizza yeast...

I was watching some videos on YouTube and reading some articles. I realize that a person cannot be an expert but sometimes there is a crazy level of ignorance. I commented on several videos pointing out the misinformation while watching a bunch of idiots excited about being able to make whiskey in 1...

Welcome..as suggested ask your questions in the right section and you will get good answers from the guys. I anticipate that generally the path to follow is "all grain" style.

welcome...yes it's true distillation is often an extension of other hobbies!

Welcome

The roller mill works great for malt..... astringency has more to do with the ph (mash) rather than the degree of grinding

I think it's difficult to find the culprit without having written down data that narrows the field. Surely (as suggested by other members) it is better to dilute and distill again. Remember that Mother Nature has provided you with the best cutting tool... use it.

I built it....I never used the ones in the picture. A curiosity: the first seems sturdier and more adjustable... what makes it worse than the second?
