This is just incredibly useful. Think I'm gonna use my own wood, and try to come up with my own whisky. Thank you.

great nfobut I dont want to drink it, just use the 50% for tincture. If the charcoal is only good up to 40%, how do you filter it when its over that?

lovely video, but it concerned me when you said to put a cork into a scew top bottle if the cap is not air tight. I was under the impression that it is dangerous to do that as the neck of the botttle when has proviously has been made to have a screw cap makes the bottle neck thinner and weaker so the method of inserting corks into them has a high risk of shattering. I use the novetwist caps which appear expensive but I have been able to reuse them several times with no air leaks.

Where can I purchase this still? Name? Maker?

will try that

What about champagne bottles?

Just about to start my fist batch a great detailed explanation

Thought this was a easy how to, looks like your selling your soul , adding bullish...t good luck

You are bonkers does a fake tan help the final product truly love you

what should be the S.G. be in the wine for a 75cl champagne bottle prior to corking to make a homemade champagne. I usually prime a bottle with 2 teaspoons of sugar. But I had some wine left over from a gallon demi-john and I have put it in a champagne bottle the S.G. is 1000, is this to high and is it dangerous to bottle with that S.G. hope you can help. P.S. I miss your shop in Liverpool. kind regards jimmy jones

Thankyou, I think the first 50-100 ml are foreshots followed by heads then hearts,tails and feints the foreshots is acetone so definitely not drinkable

the one thing that you did not mention unless I missed it was the cleaning of the airstill?

Water coming out of the collection tube when turning on the water supply ?? Help

Fish tank heater never thought of it Ty

I personally use the waste Hot water coming out of the still to sterilise all my bottles and then leave them filled up with the hot water in them and caps on until I need them 😉

Thank you for your intro into the electric still. Your intro was easy to understand. Cheers from Australia.

Honestly you need a heater pad and a brew belt on constantly for at least 6 days ... at least... the more heat the better in my experience. Its 2 quid in electric so you're not breaking thr bank if both devices are 25 watt

Excellent.

Absolutely brilliant description and presentation. Well done

Look up ray Martin a famous tv host from australia, must be your twin brother

Lovely thanks Richard

really good video - I have the Air Still Pro, so is this a reflux or a pot run?

But wht about the foreshots and heads?

G'day mate 🇦🇺🍺🍺🍺🍺you are a great teacher, I'm learning a lot of you and your videos, fantastic

I had the inline version. The result was very good so with that in mind I can recommend it. However, it's made of porous and brittle plastic so when I changed the carbon filter it only took a light tightening of the plastic wheel nut to break the shaft that goes through the carbon filter. I seriously doubt that it's possible to repair it reliably. The container in which the carbon filter sits, is of good quality plastic, though, so I give it 10 points for filtering results 2 points for build quality

10 years on, still the best tutorial on here 👏👏👏

what are the reason your whiskey contains more methyl alcohol in it and is there any method make whiskey mithail free

Why not use the empty column to put your Juniper berries in, and the gin basket for the other botanicals?

Thank you for explaining the use of this siphon.

Sorry mate, tried it number of times. 6h for 40% 1.2l is overstatment. Have 2 of those so called filters, doesn't take more than 3hr. Only what I loose is ABV(40% before, 38% after) aftertaste/wonky smell still in place. Waste of money. Better to distill 2nd time.

Is the Liverpool store going to reopen

Is it possible to add more sight glasses to the column.

Can you make wash in this or do I need to make it separately and add it for fermentation

Looks a bit wobbly, is the lid up to it?

How much more effective is this at producing clean alcohol compared to the t500 with a copper column

Hi Richard. Does the column fit the t500 boiler? Or does the new boiler fit the old t500 head ?

Are you reopening the Liverpool store anytime

I just have a question When you put your mash in and distill it do you just drink it or do you have to run heads off?

Looks like a great product well done Richard and the LB team 👍

Does this fit the t500 column

I don’t know if that condenser is big enough, but that dome looks great.

For 63 dollars U.S. you can get a Samaritan heater or aquarium heater that does 80 to 130 gal perfect temperature

Chemie plus Chemie plus noch etwas Chemie und für den Geschmack.... richtig noch mal Chemie. Na super 🥴

Does this capper do Sparkling wine bottles

YOU DIDNT THROW OUT YOUR HEADS? YOUR GONNA POISON PEOPLE . Throw away 100ml per gallon of your homebrew folks, your drinking methanol, acetone, and other unkind chemicals.

2nd rubber is a pig. I used a pair of long nose pliers kind of in reverse, to stretch it over the threaded part.

Need to cut the music in the background as it's a distraction.

What do you do when the airlock bubbles are all bad

Gday Richard,should you leave spirit or water in the tube between runs so the carbon stays moist. How many litres does the carbon do before changing? Cheers

For nuts that won’t start …go counterclockwise until it clicks then tighten it up
