Home Distiller

welcome in. hope you enjoy the place!

no expert here, but don't those howizers come with a HESH round? not sure i'd want one laying about....the wood replica sounds more....sane?

i use prolly the simplest steam system that is possible. the boiler makes steam (duh) and is modulated through a ball valve, after the heat exchange there is a condensate trap that gravity feeds a reservoir. from the reservoir, water is pumped (back) to the boiler and has 2 check valves in the feed ...

welcome in, you and another new member potin sue have that t-500 in common....maybe you'll be able to swap tips and tricks. flavour is pretty simple, there is lots of advice here. basically what i found is water carries flavour, so the lower abv you distill at the stronger the flavours. i also found...

i drove one of those in a convertible config for years...it was virtually indestructible.

You’re welcome.

you've got a great eye for nice tits brutha.

welcome in. hope you enjoy the place.

likely easier to look for a peated malt at a malt supply company in your country. import/export of dirt will likely prove problematic with the border patrol.

distilling has taught me patience.

so i'm waiting.....

no tits shown up yet.

yeah, you want a vacuum breaker on that thing too. that will really scare the shit outta you if you pull the vacuum break....they scream loud. i use 15psi PRV on my supply to jackets and set the boiler to 11. popped it a few times throwing a valve closed quick, always an exciting blast of wet steam....

how's your hydrometer working? maybe out by some %'s lower alcs (heads) give me burn more on the tip of the tongue, higher BP alcohols (tails) i sense on the sides of tongue and oils i get on the roof of my mouth, right at the back, down the hatch. for headsy, you could try off gassing a bit, maybe ...

booze made with sugar is "hot" . takes about 4 years on wood to put the fire out imho. 6 would be better.

dunno if it's a tough car, but i enjoyed building it. has a 405hp vortec 350 build with a type 20 and 12 bolt posi. ton of fun to drive. F bodies are great to build, they are fairly simple and parts are plentiful.

welcome, good to hear you are having some success. what a beautiful place you are from, i really enjoyed spending a few days in the city there, the downtown and old town and those tunnels are really quite unique. we toured the country side there, but like most vaycays....just not enough time to soak...

genuine cork isn't great for long term storage, it degrades. i have bottle of 7 year old white i bought as a comparison to what i was making. (mine was better) it has been sitting for all that time, missing an ounce or two. I looked the other day, there was a bunch of shit in the spirit so i had a c...

i've used sebflo gl, the predecessor to visco seb.

tried it cold on the way up, mash in on the way down and at 100* on the way down to pitch temp. the last worked the best but it still only mitigated the rye slime, did not cure it. maybe 10% thinner? maybe a bit more.

two noticeable instances of this for me was a sealed 1963 bottle of Canadian club i opened a few years ago, it tasted like an old library book smells...to be fair new CC isn't much better... and a slivolitz i built that was huge aroma and flavour and turned into vodka over the course of 3 years, sit...

welcome to the forum. hope you enjoy the place!

44.4, it's the perfect temp for 1/2 glass of crushed ice. plus at 88.8 proof it's lucky (according to my asian friends)

if you happen to have a sieve that is smaller than the wheat and bigger than the black seeds........but in the end...seeds are seeds. mash 'em up and cook 'em.

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the Loan officer. She says she’s going to Europe on business for two weeks and Needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Mercedes Benz. The c...

i made some honey whiskey. it was nice, but fairly one dimensional, light linear flavour. following that i made a cob bourbon and used the honey backset. That made a very nice batch, the sweetness of the corn with some grain notes from oats and barley and a very distinctive honey flavour that the ho...

Welcome in. sorry to hear of your luck. never any fun to be taken advantage of.

there is lots of good info on how to build something that won't break the bank.

what do you get when you cross an angry sheep and pissed off cow?

a small animal that's in a really, really baaaad mooood.

i keep my barrels in a sea can outside, it ranges in temperature from -45 to 35*C, i've had one leak.

not sure if temp had an effect, but BadMo's being made of dissimilar material may be of more concern. I think i'd have a spill tray bigger than the contents if it were in my dwelling.

BadMo's an inspiration for the forum members, giving so much time and information, sharing his knowledge and skills.

Ben will be missed. BadMo's legacy lives on herein these pages!

thats not funny contra.
