RumBrewer's blurtings!

[RumBrewer]

Unexpected day off! May fire up a batch of rum, or run my 5 gallons of stripped and feints!
Also expect to start some Ujsm and 2 batches of pure cane rum.

[RumBrewer]

BTW, The MileHigh Mighty Mini is cranking out 92% like a monster!
Column packed with Chore Boy scrubbers, column insulated with a towel, libeg packed with copper..... DAMN! It's clean too! gonna have to take this one deep to get any flavor!

[RumBrewer]

9 hours and counting! Mathmatically, I can't have more than about 5 or 6 more jars TOTAL.... Not sure what the hell, Maybe it's making alcohol like Tim's still on Moonshiners!

Stillin house was broke in last night!

not as title seems tho wife came out to be my still hand and lets just say things got a lil steamy
i did manage to pull 17- 200ml jars off of a batch of SF. running slow, middle was around 100 proof...finished the run about 2:30 AM

[bentstick]

Is that like still house is putting out or putting out in still house?

[RumBrewer]

Whiskey run done, and cleaned up.
Corn wash with barley backset, sugar and a big ass yeast cake from AG Barley ferment mixed and fermenting.
Charging still and filling propane bottles to run last batch of rum made with Banana Backset.
Crap! This takes a lot of time! Add today with the 10 hours I spent yesterday and I'll have spent more time at the hobby than actually working at work this week!

There are a lot of very complicated things in this world, and I understand a good number of them.
I pride myself on being able to understand the "How" and the "Why" of everything I do.
But I'll be go to hell if the search function on this sight doesn't have me as frustrated as a cut dog in a fucking match!

[RumBrewer]

OK! Time to talk the wife into blending! Hope she like the smell of RUM!

Joy Spense.... Watch Out!

Use the Google search tool.

Minimal help.... But once I figured it out.... it's better..... a little!

Thanks Mr. Piss!

[RumBrewer]

Sitting here looking at my 2 gallons of damn fine 110 proof rum. Crying in my beer because I cut it with tap water and it fucking clouded up!
It's white as ouzo and water!
DAMN!

Guess I'll call it Cloud 9 Rum!

Piss! This is the shits! Just use bottled water people!

[RumBrewer]

Today is the type of day where you want to wake up, partake of the wares till you can't see, sleep till 2 p.m. and try again!

[RumBrewer]

I'm really hating the fact that I really like my rum better with age.
I was hoping to like my white rum right outta the still so I could have better time waiting on stufff that needs to sit.
OH WELL! A BIG stash helps to keep your paws off!

[RumBrewer]

Sucks!
Bad planning and two COLD days in the kitchen.... My plans have been blasted by a still-bubbling air lock!

[fullhouse]

SON of a *&$@# #&%@#$ .....i just broke my last alcohol meter ..... well off to the mail order i guess!

[RumBrewer]

WELL, I've been pretty lazy on the likker front.
I have some cuts to blend, and I've got 10 gals of ujsm to run.... Then I should be caught up.... and then I'll need to get busy brewing!

[RumBrewer]

CRAP!
Blended 1 jar too deep into the tails!

[astronomical]

I can't wait to start brewing... Probably do my first ag beer next weekend. I may do a hefe weisse, not sure yet. Are hefe weisses a bad starting beer?

[RumBrewer]

Are hefe weisses a bad starting beer?

Certainly NOT!
Just be prepared for a slow sparge if you're using wheat.
If you've not gotten your grains yet, get a handful of rice hulls for your grist. They will significantly help loosen the glue that you'll make and keep you from getting a stuck sparge.

4 am and cant sleep reading old posts that i missed

same here..

Today I'm making that hefe that I was talking about a few posts up... I took Rum's suggestion and grabbed some rice hulls as well. All very exciting.

[RumBrewer]

Gurrr! Just spent 4 hours super cleaning the kitchen (Between last night and this am.)
Now I want to run the still... but not sure if I want to make a mess in the kitchen again!

For whiskey... I do like this CM still with a 3/4 packed column. It pumps out at 75-80% for the whole run and plenty of flavor too.
It took some time to get it all dialed in, but that's half the fun right????

Is that on a single run or a double? Thanks.

[RumBrewer]

I'm pretty much down to single runs unless something funky comes through.
When I get things right, man they are good! When I screw it up somehow.... I end up re-running... or just adding back to the next run.

Oh... and I lied. This batch is running off at about 89% -91% right now.

[RumBrewer]

Woah Balls!
Even the tails are coming through at 87%!

Most of this run was at 74 degrees and 90-91%, then the temp started climbing over 600 ml of distillate. Now at 84% and 84 degrees!

Tell me again why I need to build a boka? I need something to STRIP with at this point!

[blind drunk]

Sounds good. How tall is your CM? Thanks.

[fullhouse]

my sweet feed must be very desirable....i cant for the life of me keep the gnats from my dripping covered with coffee filters....maybe ill put some fores in a spray bottle and make me some flyin insect killer!

[RumBrewer]

For some reason they seem to be attracted to Alcohol. Kills 'em, but they sure fly to it!

It's a Mile High Mighty Mini... so.... 2 foot???

[RumBrewer]

Apparently, I'm crusty this evening.
I'm sick of trolls. I'm sick of high school kids looking for a way to make a quick batch of hooch!
Dump some yeast into juice and shut the fuck up already!

I'm sick of losers bitching on a thread that was a bitching awesome video... Seriously... I hope that ass kills himself by auto-asphyxiation while jacking off to OPRA and the View.

And I'm sick of jackwagons that have read every post in the last 4 minutes thinking they need to comment on every goddamn thread on the forum! SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Really... If it weren't for about 15 forum members, and the promise that I'll fuck something up and need help some day... I'd just shut this bitch down!

I hat the general public!
