Re: still porn
My burner has been acting up and my still is soot stained. Streaks from paste that run down it also. I haven't cleaned the outside at all since I made it. Other than spraying the soot off each run. The inside is seasoned but clean. That what you mean? If so, I'll get a pic after my next run, before chipping the paste off.likker liker wrote:I guess you got it wrong

Re: still porn
What I meant was, the guys that like to fabricat their own stuff. That's why I add "rat rod" not the norm, the unusual the hard working, get the job done stuff. Their is some on this blog, I was just trying to get more of that kind of stuff going.
I like the highly polished that some people have But I have made just about everything I brew with. I don't spend the time to polish unless there is a need to. I know there is a lot of people who do the same.

Re: still porn
I know what you mean but there really are some excellent fabricators here that are building these. Seems to me most guys aren't doing the old school setup because it isn't as well suited for their needs. Plus copper sheet is a lot more expensive and difficult to work with than a keg.

I like to look at the shiny stuff, but when it comes to making good product, shiny doesn't necessarily translate to good product. If I had a really nice looking still, I'd be too afraid of getting it tarnished or dirty, and subsequently spend more time trying to keep it looking sexy. You can have a gorgeous still, and still produce shitty product if you don't know how to run it. I mean, look at how stupid and simplistic my still is. And I've had excellent reviews about my product. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Not necessarily a "rat-rod" still, in that, I didn't do any real fab work other than piecing together the condenser and building it from scratch with store bought equipment, but I think the simple ingenuity of putting pieces together that work count for something, at least. I'm not knocking anyone with a really pretty still, or their methods, but as for me I prefer simplicity. It works just fine for me

Many get a debut shot,then not polished again,mine has not been polished since I added a new boiler to it,some solder globs on her,and some tarnish,it is form and function,which I have taken pride in building,and sharing and as a few very few can atest to my column no longer has a big glossy shine to it,not that it is nasty gross and green,but shows use as much as I have time for,3 runs this weekend!
Cheers fellas as my sig states "It is what ya make it"

Re: still porn

Re: still porn
Well-being modular also known as ever-changing I have upped to a 4 plate section so now I can run as a packed CM with either marbles or SPP as 12, 20, 32, 40, or 52" sections plus anywhere from 0 to 4 plates below the same packed section lenghts within the limits of my ceiling height.

Re: still porn
Mason Jar, I really like your aircooled condenser, saw it here a few months back and it really got the cogs turning.
Not that I need to go down that route, but I just liked how you took something that you basically were told would not work and stuck with it until you made it work for you.
Kudos

Mason jar and Swag, really made some progress in aircooling. I might take up the ideas.
Here is my humble setup:
Ethylisator with aftercooler Liebig, Potstill wih Liebig and domelid, LM with doublecoil, CCVM with column and singlecoil. Don't know if it qualifies for still porn, compared to nice flutes etc..but it's what a poor man like me has.
Every single bit of it i build myself,i like building more than the distilling part.
