Hi. I have a quick question about the final coating after cleaning. Wax would melt, so how else do you treat the surface? Keep the videos coming!! You have a lot of information about getting the right mix working Thank you for your time, Steven
I stumbled across your video because I wanted to clean some copper jewelry...but the minute I saw your set up I was hooked. I just wanted to comend you on your sobriety, I am just new to this sober life and I just can't imagine how hard it must have been for you. Personally speaking I'm not sure if I could have gotten sober if I had the setup that you have. Unfortunately it took me getting chased by 6 cop car's while driving my husband's John Deere 🚜 the story gets a lot of laughs but honestly at my age it's just embarrassing. I just wanted to tell you that you made the right choice and you are not alone on this journey. Keep on getting on my friend ❤
Man, thank you! This is the first 1 17:26 17:26 01 series that hasn’t left me saying “wait, what about…” or “ya but how does that…” Excellent job. I’m going to continue through the series and you got a new subscriber, my friend!
If u going for 10 gal of Mash, u use 15 gal water, do u use 3lbs corn for the 15 gal or the 10 gal but your working with 15 gal. Or, 3lbs per gal for 15 gal water=10 gal mash. 10 gal water + 5 gal + 45 lbs Corn + 30% Barley, Or 10 gal water + 5 gal +30 lbs corn + 30% Barley?
The wormcoil you said is technically called a “shell and tube” heat exchanger they use them in hvac applications I mean no disrespect just thought I’d let you know
it is not. there's 2 types of condensers in the world of distilling. worm condensers which are a copper coil inside of a tub, and then there's shell and tube condensers which is made up of a large tube sealed on both ends and has a bunch of pipes running in between. shell and tube condensers are more efficient but worm coils are easier and cheaper to make. plus to account for the efficiency you can cycle your water faster with a pump or run cooler water through it.
There is no way on earth that I could set up a distillery, but I would truly LOVE to operate a fine column still like that one. I have been tempted for years to purchase a column still just to play with, but the wife and the law seem to believe that's a bad idea. That one is a real beauty!. I see this was posted a couple of years ago. I hope things have worked out well for you.
So are you going with rum gin or vodka and as that sells you will make whiskey? And with this still whats the volume your aiming for. Wish you luck and success.
Not to cast disparity here but timing is everything in life. I literally, bought the equipment from a winery that was defunct, converted a two apartment carriage house into my winery, made the building more secure etc, had a decade of experience with wine making and paid for my application. 911 happened a month later, i heard nothing until 6 months later i was told that all applications were on hold as the ATF was under homeland security. I had already lost my rental income from the building when i decided to convert it, and now after purchasing all the equipment etc could no longer just hand out and wait. I was able to sell the equipment for a small profit as i bought it at an auction but overall was devastated about what happened as my dream was ruined. Anyway, it's been decades since then and i'm happy to say i may look into this again but not as a winery but distillery. Thanks for the good video! tom
you'll never minimise your heads. you can play with the abv but you'll get the same volume of methanol and acetone each time. the tails you can just stop the distillation when you get to that part
