Welcome aboard man. It's all here. The search function is amazing. Cheer's

I love seeing the old set up. From what I've read... There where a lot of log stills here in the US. Logs were cheeper than copper. Thanks for sharing this Toto!

Nice work man!! Thanks for sharing. Cheer's

That's a hell of a deal for the price. You couldn't even buy the copper for 250. Cheer's

Congratulations on your first run man. Cheer's

There was a few posts about a similar thing a month or two ago where someone had shown a company that presses them . The question was asked about DIY . I think it was Shady had suggested making the dye’s out of Concrete ( because it would be easy to do thqn machine steel ones )and using a hydraulic...

After you lay out the cone it's a breeze. Solder it up and away you go. Cheer's

Why not strip more and fill the keg up with more low wines? Seems like a lot of work for a small return. You'll probably only end up with a quart of so after cuts.
Congratulations on your first spirit run. Cheer's

Good to see it all coming together for you. I wouldn't use potatos for vodka personally... There are better recipes for vodka.

Looks good man. Thanks for sharing your progress. Cheer's

I guess we all been doing it wrong..... Yes, you did everything wrong. And I did it wrong at the beginning, when my entire path was copper. On the copper path, over time, black-green flakes began to fall into my selection. I didn't like it, so I replaced the descending branch of the tract with stai...

I’m a bit worried about that serious looking kink on your coil …… looks like it is almost bent flat and may seriously impede water flow . Have you tested how many litres a min it will pass +1 I can see more than one flat spot in the coil you have in the picture. Needs to be addressed to insure enou...

Welcome aboard man. Pick out a recipe from the Tried and True and have at it. Good luck. Have fun and stay safe.

The condenser coil should never be made of copper. Copper is needed to clean vapors from sulfur and sulfur compounds only when they move upward. Then all the copper salts remain in the cube. As the vapor moves downwards (the condenser coil), the alcohol reacts with copper and verdigris (copper acet...

Welcome to HD man. You in the right place. Enjoy the journey. Cheer's

Won't be long now... I always let my wash clear for a week or so... I set my whole fermenting vessel outside in the cold for a few hours. Helps it clear, if I'm in a hurry to run it. Cheer's

Nice work man... As others have said you don't need a thermometer. Cheer's

viewtopic.php?t=51253 here is just one of many... I use about a 3" spiral from the Barrel Mill per half gallon. Ymmv. Cheer's

Congratulations on your first Wash. I do All Bran using raisin bran all the time and really like the end result. Put some on oak for a few months.... Even better. Double run pot still makes a good drop. Cheer's

Welcome to HD. Have fun and stay safe.

Mashing is using grain and converting the starch to sugar and fermenting. Just using sugar and fermenting is a Wash.

Build a simple Liebig condenser and be done with it. You'll be glad you did. Cheer's
