Home Distiller

I drink 200ml of Vodka everyday . is it OK ? so do i considered to be alcoholic ?
so far i don't feel anything but i want ask if this is normal

is there is any advantage using Dextrose / Corn sugar VS Plain White Sugar from the supermarket ?
in the Beer world if we can call it that Dextrose is way more recommended over Plain white sugar . i wonder if this is the case when it come to Neutral distillation

here Locally some people selling spirits Called "Araq" I have No idea what ingredients they use No idea how they distilled this it's stored in Water Plastic bottle for god know how long all what i know it's disgusting and give a lot of headache and i only buy that if i have to my question ...

for someone suffer from sinuses for a long time the Idea of Automation Cuts make sense to me Hey, a built-in carbon filter ... an automatic fix for bad cuts. Oh, but the cuts are automated. Ouch ! I see what you mean . the filter optional and can be turn off from the screen that's what they claim a...

for someone suffer from sinuses for a long time the Idea of Automation Cuts make sense to me Genio Product has been reviewed by many Pro people and found out that the machine really does great job when it comes to Vodka type spirits and the auto Cuts it does luckily they have another product similar...

i asked one before as why almost all Commercial Vodka made with All Grain and not Sugar base the answer was that it's much cheaper for these company's to use all grain instead of sugar . however I'm not buying this . if you think about all the steps of mashing and all the equipment required for this...

The Auto Heads Collection seems to me "Collect X amount of the first drops" and call it Heads . it looks like they come to this calculation based on their "fermentation kit" that they sold . even if that's true the problem is not everyone use their fermentation kit and you'll fin...

Google search found this buried in the results: https://bsghandcraft.com/still-spirits-air-still-pro Its the only retailer page I could find with any sort of info. Not even the Still Spirits website had any info. Seems aweful spendy to me... No price point though. But it looks like you CAN add the ...

LalBrew recently announced a new strain of yeast called "NovaLager" . as you can see it's for lager beer . but what really Caught my attention the following " no sulfur " " strain will not produce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) off-flavors " " Aroma and flavor is clean wit...

I googled it, but could not find. Fx do you have a link? So it seems that Still Spirits have new version of Air Still called Air Still Pro . What you guys think of this ? Not Public yet . this has been sent to Still Spirits retailer & they're sending out info and training on them now to retaile...

Seems like a gimmick to me… especially the automatic foreshots collection. The heads and fores cut should be determined by taste and smell, not a gadget. Also, 90% purity isn’t that great either. The standard air still is cool for making gin and other macerated products, but that’s where it ends fo...

So it seems that Still Spirits have new version of Air Still called Air Still Pro . What you guys think of this ?
Reflux With Air for Cooling
Auto Collections of Heads
90% ABV

Since i have problem with sinuses it's really hard for me to Spot the differences between heads / hearts etc So i think a smart and an experience distiller can help people like me . so that's got me to think if anyone can do the following for a specific still type let's say T500 220volt 1- With T50...

Hi fxaddicted. Perhaps try using taste/mouth feel to cut out the heads/tails. I can and often do make my cuts by taste alone because my nose does not always work well either. Here is my method, assuming you collect in jars like the beginners guide to cuts process thread: First thing to know is that...

Lazy cuts will reveal themself MORE as you dilute the alcohol because your sensitivity to the off flavors will be less neutralized by the higher proof. As you approach pure water (seltzer water in your case), your taste threshold will be more acute. So, yes … you should care about (good) cuts MORE....

i'm a bit confused by this thread. can you post more about the anticipated recipe you are hoping for? A hard seltzer to me would be....make the cleanest neutral spirit you can, meaning it would be in the range of 95% and add your preferred pre-flavoured sparkling water to dilute to 15% (or whatever...

low alcohol sparkling / flavored beverage . something like hard seltzer but with 15% ABV

i don't want go direct with hard seltzer method because i don't want bother with filtration process

my goal is to dilute the final spirits to 15%ABV or 10% ABV
should i really care about cuts ?

i don't want to use plain sugar at all so I'm thinking to go all grain but with Wheat Dry Malt Extract " 65% wheat malt and 35% barley" https://www.morebeer.com/product_image/morebeer/500x500/20160.jpg do you think it's better if i do all grain mash my self or DME can do the job as good as...

my friend have 44% abv spirits stored in 10 water Plastic bottles for weeks if not months .

not in a million years i would think to drink from that but i was thinking if i can fix this by re-distilling this using Air Still ?

Ethanol is a funny animal. Yes, the molecular weight number says it’s 3x the size of a water molecule but it’s permeability and rejection through membrane filtration is far from absolute. When it comes to the production of hard seltzer beverages we are typically utilizing some type of reverse osmos...

Not even close Your 0.025um is 25 nanometres. A water molecule is 0.28nm An ethanol molecule is 0.44nm You need another two zeros after the decimal point. The product your possibly looking for is called an Molecular sieve. Im not sure what your trying to do though, if you want to remove alcohol, di...

FX - Do you have any power control on the Air Still? If not, it's a worthwhile upgrade. Pick up a router speed control from your local big box store or Amazon and plug the the main power cord into that to vary the input power. You'll need to use an old computer AC cord to plug the fan into a separa...

Thanks. yes Air Still doesn't give clean product and so far i have to filter that via carbon at least 10 times

I wouldn't run anything containing ethanol through it. I make neutral with a reflux still. I filter water using an RO unit (reverse osmosis). I dilute the neutral with RO water to 80 proof. I blend whatever I want to make a drink, carbonate and pour on ice. thanks . yeah but sometimes i need such s...

i recently bought Water Filtration system from a local company . this system have 6 stages . i noticed one of the stages using 0.025 Micron Cartridge . my question is can this 0.025 Micron remove Ethanol ? at what size Micron Cartridge can remove Ethanol giving that alcohol molecules are 3x the size...

Hi . i have been brewing beer for the last 2 years and so far i love the journey . and now i think I'm ready for the next hobby home distillation my first step so far is to buy Air Still Pot Still and i did that a month ago . i can't say I'm happy with the results but at least it's a starting point ...
