Cranky I get the same looks from Mrs Jed.
I did get two runs done today. Stripped 1st gen uj using oats and did the spirit run on a double malt sweet feed. My Booner inspired 4 grain ain't ready yet.

My wife is already tired of me messing with fruit and it's only 1 month into apple season. I am trying to do as much as I can around the house so it is interfering with stilling. I have 15 gallons of Unicorn Sweat wash ready to run and the cheez-it is ready too and I don't know when I will have time but I have 3 gallons of pear juice in the kitchen right now and nothing to put it in so I have to do something soon.

We got home at 3AM this morning after 12 hours of some pretty serious embibing and music. Woke up, drove an hour to a picnic for the daughters track team in a blind foggy stupor, got home with every intention to still up some more Kirsch that I squeezed off the cherries yesterday. Looked at the bucket, went upstairs and fell asleep on the couch. Got up, ate, went downstairs looked at the bucket, shuffled some things around, went upstairs and fell asleep on the couch. Them cherries gonna have ta wait. Got half a barrel of bourbon to squeeze out and run too. Ran the top clear half yesterday morning. That corn aint gettin squeezed tonight either.

zzzzzzzzzz....

I am hopeing that i get free pears again this year. Last years we got enuf to get almost 50 gallons of juice. I only got 12 of it.
Jimbo naps are good, convert to steam injection and you don't have to squeeze.

+1,000,000,000. To both.

Why'd you rip your flute apart to build a thumper?

Time saved by not squeezing is more time for naps.

It was a cobbled together single plate that i just wasnt happy with. It made good likker but it was lacking something. i found the lacking in a pot and thump. Still dont know what it was. Might redo if I get big copper or sheet.

It's 2AM and once again I have woken up with ideas bouncing around inside my head keeping me awake. Condensers and steamers and grains, fruit fruit fruit and more fruit... 8 gallons of pear juice, I need 8 more... Can I get into the plum thicket?... If I do can I actually reach the plums?... Is it too late in the blackberry season to get another 3 gallons of juice?... Lets see... lately I've been getting 1qt of juice per gallon of berries...4qts in a gallon so I need 12 more gallons of berries to reach that 7 gallons of juice... no wonder they say it takes 80 pounds of raspberries to a bottle of Eau de Vie...I wonder how many blackberries it takes...Lets see... approximately 4.5lbs of berries to a gallon...so 4.5 pounds to a Qt of juice...that's 28lbs of berries per gallon of juice...280LBS of berries to 10 gallons of juice...6.5% potential alcohol...so theoretically there is .65gallons of alcohol in 10 gallons of juice...of course at best maybe 65% of that goes into Eau de Vie...but then that's cut to 40% so that brings it up to around .65 gallons of final product...that's 2460ml out of 10 gallons...3.5 bottles of Eau de vie from 10 gallons of juice...so 280/3.5 = 80lbs per bottle Damn I need to get some sleep...and more blackberries before the season ends...

I see my 2AM math was a bit fuzzy, Go figure. 4.5lbs (1 gallon) of berries is actually 18 pounds to a gallon. So only 180 pounds of blackberries to 10 gallons of juice. So it would actually come to 51.42 pounds of blackberries to a bottle of Eau de Vie

You're not well Cranky.

Anybody know how much starch is in hot pepper seeds. Had a good crop of peppers and thinking about using the seeds in a corn based whiskey.
Nope no problem here.

Speaking of 'You aren't well'..................

Those are some good looking peppers Jedneck. I don't know how much starch there is but I'm actually getting some hot peppers this year too but just thinking maceration.

I wonder if that capsaicin will come over in the vapor. Better taste carefully. you could get a condensed 3 billion skovil units lighting up your larynx on first swaller. Can I be there to watch? LOL

That is the small plant. The big one has 2x the peppers on it. They are just cayenne peppers. Also hev jalapeños they will get smoked with the corn. The plan is use them with my smokey corn malt.
Jimbo you come to jedfest and you can watch.

I had Dorset Nagas that had just begun flowering when the cold weather moved in last year and killed them off before I could get them inside. They are in the top 10 hottest and are known to produce upwards of 2000 peppers on a single plant. I also had Thai chilies and rainbows which did fine overwinter in my garage then died as soon as I put them out in the spring. This year I just bought what the nursery had which was hot cherry peppers, and some other hot pepper I can't remember. With this heat and drought we are having this year the peppers are loving it.

I'd be more concerned with the exit than the intake .

Next get together, remind me to tell the story of what the TP looked like morning after I ate a plate full of 'Nuclear' hot chicken wings on a challenge. It wasnt pretty.

Did it look smeared like you wiped your ass with a fish.

+1. I've had that experience with some habaneros. Would be OK if you could taste them again.

Oh no, I was pissing straight out my ass so there was nary a spec of poo to be seen. But there was plenty of bright red, and it wasnt from the peppers. Well it was, but the red was home made.

That's better than smearing it all over the chicken sack.

true that

You boys make me worried...

Shit Bigbob, you're the one wearing the approprate attire for an extended session with the hot pepper.

I like a little spice,but not enough for my insides to be outside
