Re: Looking for 53KW electric still control
Swede is active on AD. He logged in 3 days ago. When I see your specs, I must ask why work in 3 phases but use monophased 240V heaters that you will derate by 25%, 39.6KW? You say 53KW but you will have 140A that is more 50Kw if I'm right, but if it's your breakers rating, you must derate this to 80...

Re: Building something that's entirely mine.
2" flute might work, but I would not try.
I had a look, but I'm planning 4" flute.
I'm waiting for a few thing to finish a modular bok from which I will reuse parts for the flute later

Re: First Mash and need advice
I wonder why you put corn apart for some taste.
Not cooking it and with no amylase to convert the starch, it does not contribute to sugar/alcohol content.
Anyway, good to hear you find out what was happening

Re: What do you know about PH?
I read that many whiskys are in the 4 pH range.
I never came across anything about law telling which pH it has to be.
Let's see what more educated than me will say

Re: Adding Cracked Corn to Beersmith
Isn't grits closer to cracked corn? Grits is listed in beersmith also. Yes, you're right ! it's the ingredient to use for corn ! http://beersmith.com/Grains/Grains/grain_42.htm Reminds me when a recipe called for corn and that I tried to cook flaked corn before mashing it. What a mess and a waste !

Re: Shotgun / dephlegmator on top of boka
I use lanthanated as per what the welders told me at the shop and it's sharp tip. I cleaned the copper with a wire brush and I sanded the stainless to rough up the surface a bit. I also cleaned the bronze rod with scouring pads as there was some green on it. I did not preheated the copper at all. I ...

Re: Shotgun / dephlegmator on top of boka
Yes I am tigging copper and stainless with silicon bronze rod, it's considered like brazing. I do like I learned: backflush with argon, direct heat more on copper because it dissipates more heat and try not to do bubbles :) I'm not that good. If you want to see really neat work, check this thread of...

I think it's a bad idea.

The rake are here to prevent channeling. Search on google images for &qu...

Re: Failed Whiskey Mash - Everytime
I never cooked the corn so long. Are you cooking whole grain ? 165˚F is high pasteurisation temp ( 170˚F is the high temp, 150˚F is low temp ), but pasteurisation depends on time too. I agree that the healthiest yeast and rightest pitch rate, the better for the fermentation success. Yeast has to sta...

I see you took the recipe from internet. Same recipe replicated a lots of time does not make is good (nor bad). The base is a 2lbs grain per gallon water. Corn his better being gelatinized before the starch can be converted to sugar by amylases that you add or that are contained in the malted barley...

HDNB, yes I'll drink from them after a cleanup.
Contaminants in Hvac can be just some particles or greenish that could be bad for a compressors.
Every pipe has to be free from debris and corrosion, things we can clean but that they won't even try to clean for their usage.

Re: Shotgun / dephlegmator on top of boka
I think would be fine for a boka but to later turn around and try to use it for a dephleg for a flute you are likely to run into problems with too much knockdown power due to it being too long resulting in control issues. I would not use it as a dephlegmator on a flute, but as a product condenser :...

I've got no flute, and I'm planing one. I've played a bit with automation and process control involving cooling control.

Hi all, I've searched the forum and google for some examples of bokakobs using a shotgun condenser for a bok instead of a coil. I found about nothing !
