Rubber PIPES!!!

Post by iamkwood »

I recently made a still however, i was wondering for the pipes. If i used surgical tubing for the pipes and copper for the snake. do you think it would ruin what i make?

yes glass used in reason is OK thermometer as far as I'm concerned
is a early warning system , you can use it to predict when something is going
to change helpful but necessary , you will want a couple of hydrometers
one four "beer" one four spirits you do not need best just good ones
a hint on sending four them have them raped extra they brake easy

Another age clue is the use of textspeak, like "idk".

And 9 + 7 = 16, which ain't adult, is it?

Sorry, iamkwood, but it just don't add up.

If you really are an adult, and really are interested in making fuel, then go to the Yahoo AlcoholFuel distillers forum. Making fuel is different to making booze.
Be safe.
Be discreet.
And have fun.

We condone underage drinking less than we do high-proof plastic use here. That says a lot. :shock:

Also, many of us here believe that anything worth typing is worth typing out and typing well (unless you are skewing grammar and spelling a bit to add a bit of a dialect) . The most "textspeak" that I've seen here in a serious conversation was IMHO and BTW.

Wait five years or so, and then try to talk to us again.

Also, if you are VERY happy with a run that you have sampled a little too much of. Several of my posts (when read the next day), were simply whoopin terribly written and spelt :)

However, as for 16 yr olds, read the rules by which we live post. Read rule number one, and GO THE F AWAY.
