Home Distiller

Well, working in a brewery or distillery is no “cake walk”. Don’t overlook the reason the “chemist/head distiller” hired you is to do the WORK he doesn’t want to do. Sure, you’ll learn a lot. And have the opportunity to “sample” the products. But, you’ll have the sweat to show for it, plus a payche...

I’m still processing it all, trust me. I’m going to get one in the store one day!!

So I’ve been out of work since September. I’ve worked since i was 15, it has been tough not having a stable career! For example; and this is no BS. I applied for over 86 jobs in the month of January I got one interview doing d2d sales. But it finally seems like I’m getting an opportunity to actually...

Preciate that yum, my buddy gave the hobby up so I have some leftover packages.. I prefer red DADY, saving up my $$$ to try and get the certificate. So I’m penny pinching.

Ten 4 acfixer. My mash barrel is a 50 gallon drum. So I was just trying to ask around, thanks for the input.

I’m having trouble converting the 6 gallon wash to a 50 gallon wash. I’m coming up with something like 800 grams?? That’s like 2# of yeast…. Also the yeast I choose is the 48hr fermfast; should I use all turbo or mix in some Red DADY?

I was looking at some of those designs last night. I need to rethink!! Thank you

Thank you, I’ll keep y’all posted

So could I just use it as a thumper? Or waste of time?

Sorry it is a nitrous tank

So I run my 1/2 keg as a reflux on a 200,000 BTU burner. I normally mash in about 50gal of wash and do five runs. I have procured a 6gal heavy duty SS stock pot, and a 5gal empty nitrous tank. The attached file shows just an idea, thinking of inverting the nos tank to mimic a conical style cap. I re...

I’ll drink to that

Welcome to the fray.

Yea supposedly my great grandpa is the reason where I live is the birthplace of nascar. And I’ve worked to many places to count, this comes so naturally.

How is everyone, this will be my third year distilling. I started on the pot still and I’m working with a 1/2 barrel reflux column for the time being. Trying to build a new 30-40 gallon pot still. It’s just nothing like doing the thump keg waltz.
