Re: If you've ever....you might be a Stiller
If you cant walk through Tractor Supply without going through the feed and grain room (even though you dont have any farm animals), you might be a stiller..
Last week, I found rolled oats, flaked corn, and whole white wheat, and didnt buy anything but oyster shell for the garden, and another 5 gallon bucket.

If you look at every piece of fruit, potato, cereal and wonder how much starch is in it and what kind of starting gravity you would get, you might be a stiller

If your PhD scientist daughter comes home after a few years out of the house and says "Dad, I don't even need to see that all hooked up to know what you're up to!", you might be a stiller.

Re: If you've ever....you might be a Stiller
If you’re ever loaded and see a clock that says 6.33pm , you might be a stiller with access to too much likker!
Numerous 57L kegs, some propane, one 220v electric with stilldragon controller. Keggle for all-Grain, two pot still tops for whisky, a 3" reflux with deflag for vodka. Coming up, a 4" perf plate column. Life is short, make whisky and drag race!

When your wife tells your kids that you are talking about making likker again, and the kids buy you a BOP for Christmas, you might be getting a hint from them that they'd like you to be a stiller again...[emoji1787]

When you are stuck behind a grain truck on a country road, watching grain spill out when it hits the bumps and wishing you had a bucket....
If in doubt leave it out.

Re: If you've ever....you might be a Stiller
Same in this area, to a point. Several chicken houses were stripped of ALL copper some years back when prices were up some. Two 400 or 500 foot houses got stripped in less than a week. Faster than the bank could get the paperwork printed for the people buying them.Deplorable wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 8:01 pmYep.

If you have sixty eight 2kg bags of sugar in the basement and the wife texts you and says Walmart has sugar on for $1.27 a bag so you go and pick up 40 more bags, you might be a distiller!

Re: If you've ever....you might be a Stiller
Swing... and a miss.. lol! It’s all good, the world always needs humour.
After hitting Wally World and picking up sugar I found I’m running out of storage... so I’m putting a 110L batch on when I get home today.
So....
If you’ve ever had to put on a batch of sugar wash because you don’t have any place to store it, you might be a stiller.

Re: If you've ever....you might be a Stiller
First world problems being what they are, ive been trying to decide what to make to "wash" one of my barrels after the malbec comes out. (That wines is coming along wonderfully I might add. Nice bourbon notes but not overpowering the hearty red wine.)
So to clean out some of the wine before putting a bourbon back in, ive thought about a big batch of SSS diluted to 65%, let it sit and pull some of the wine out of the wood.

Next time I was running a batch of all grain corn and I used the feights from the PP batch. Well! It was whisky with a bit of red wine after tones. Sounds disgusting but it was awesome after sitting on oak for a couple months.
So, I’d fill it with whisky if I were you.

Yeah, another thought was fill it with UJSSM.
