How am I doing?

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

How am I doing?

Post by madcyborg »

Ok, I got 15 carboys and few airlocks from a garage sale for $75 bucks.
My grandpa was a good ole boy and talked about how the shine was made, I think I got the basics. I steamed the glass carboy clean, added 10 (yes thats allot) Lbs of sugar to 4 liters of water and 3 Lbs of flake maze (Yuppy talk for cracked corn) Boiled it all together added that to the carboy with water fillin up 7/8 of the space. Is this an ok recipe??

I added super high gravity yeast from white labs, and have kept it 72-75 F. Is this ok to use sine I could not get Turbo yeast? It should be good 18-20 % before the yeast die off. My first batch did produce hooch :wink: . My first still was a 2000ML (2 liter) still glass flask with a rubber stopper in the top and 12 feet of copper 3/8 tubing I straightened out to travel down off the stove to the jar. A better design is in the works, What parts would I be ok buying IE steam cooker at walmart etc. I think my still needs refinement... but I have made a little bit thus far, it lights on fire and gets ya lit... Hooray :P . Guys I look to you for help.. Start me off making white lightning today and its burbon tomorrow... Cheers
