first still i have ever made

[floppy]

ok so this is my first build I'm sure I will get lots of constructive criticism but lay it on what looks wrong on it other that I have it in a shed full of chainsaws and saw parts. its all stainless and copper lead free solder I used water soluble flux the condenser is 36" the column is 24" 8 gallon ss milk can I have proper gaskets on the way in the mail for the clamps that's all I need is to lose the silicone gaskets and I think I'm ready to do some cleaning runs please if you see anything wrong correct me I will listen I'm new to this looking forward to a first run soon I have 5 gallons of brown sugar and molasses fermenting for my first run after cleaning runs just remember its my first build ever completed luckily I found this place and stopprd my previous rout I was on build wise

I Don't like editing others posts but your photo link to photo basket revealed other photo documents with your name on them.

Also floppy, if you could use punctuation it would help us "readers". When you run sentances together like that, it makes you look juvenile and your text difficult to interpret (which can lead to confusion). Please...use punctuation.

Thx.

Sounds like a nice pot still.

Use the tool at the bottom of the page, "upload attachment", to load pics directly to the site, I'd like to see your creation.

Yep, that looks nice.
That Liebig should knock down anything you throw at it.

Chain saws do add a lot to the composition!

yep ill just keep things short enough for you not to worry about that i guess internet grammar is not my main priority in life

[ericrichards420]

Looks like it will do the job to me, I just hope you don't try to run it in that shed.

lol if your main concern on the internet is my grammar dont bother reading anything with my name its pretty easy to just move along

[as82]

Just don´t expect too much feedback once your posts go beyond three sentences.

I think it´s not correct grammar people are concerned with - it´s just a pain to decipher without any punctuation. Simple matter of common respect to put a bit of effort into your post to make it readable.

Nice still. It'll work. Do your cleaning runs then make some likker!
By the way,welcome to the site. Perhaps you should change your name to" the punctuation bandit" lol.
Jbt.

Punctuation.... it's the difference between:

"Joe and his big dog, Dick" vs "Joe and his big dog dick."




Good luck to you floppy and welcome!

"help jack, off the horse " or "help jack off the horse"

I am very keen on correct spelling, including interpunction. I even correct errors in my newspaper!
But I gave up on texts on the internet, because every nitwit is able to post texts here.

I have seen mistakes on this forums/fora that would have made me ashamed if I had made them. Although I am sure I make mistakes too. English is not my first language.
to = too = two??

Give this guy a break!

[Danespirit]

That still looks nice..
As you mentioned, the silicone gasket has to go.
It may be a bit difficult to find an adequate PTFE gasket for the lid (i assume that where the silicone is located now).
Good old flour paste will do the job just fine if you can't get such a gasket.
Just a remark...you may want to support the Liebig in a way.
The weight of it will stress the pipe coming from your riser and that will eventually lead to failure.

Mistakes are mistakes. Shit happens.

This is willfully inconsiderate and selfish:

He ain't James Joyce. And I couldn't care less about his grammar.

If it was me, I would rather raise my game to meet the higher standard than have everyone else dumb theirs down to meet mine.

But I fear I have already said more than might be considered prudent. After all, there is no particular reason for floppy to mind the sway of my opinion. I shall intrude here no more.

[der wo]

It is what it is. I'm out.

Thinking about forums in my language, posts without punctuation and substandard grammar get zero responses normally.

ill try and get back on topic here

those seals shoudnt be that hard to replace with PTFE tape. even look on amazon for PTFE sheets. probably have different widths x lenths x thinknesses to suit your need. ive never messed with flour paste because i started with ptfe tape and havent looked back. i think that would be your best bet to replace the silicone seals

btw around here you make more friends with sugar than with vinager. or from the
"simpsons " , " you make more friends with meat than with salad" LOL . prolly in your best bet make your welcome into this site as smoothly as possible . and something as simple as a period or comma will go a long way

good luck

cheers

First still I made wasn't the first still I ran, made a simple pot still on a keg with a Liebig condenser, it was very much like the ones I'd seen sept it I didn't go with a worm as I got running water.
See the grammar Nazis are at it again, folks get over ya selves, we all got strengths and weaknesses. Good grammar is often as not produced by well educated dimwits to which I have met many. There is a certain honesty to writing in the fashion one thinks

That gave me a good chuckle!

That is much easier than even you expect .
CONSIDER IT DONE !

[Still Life]

Truckinbutch,
in light of recent events, you must be getting quite an Ignore list.

...wait... can you see this ..?

[DBCFlash]

Although I am a big fan of proper grammar, I have discovered that those that are slightly less literate often have some great contributions to creative hobbies like this one. Consider the gigantic run-on sentences a challenge, and don't judge a man foolish, until he's proven he is.

Actually the list is quite short . Only 3 , I believe . I'd rather be helping people that slamming the door in their face .

I suppose that should be than in stead of that ?
