Do you reply to any of your subscribers comments?? I'm a plumber, I'm interested in your copper still making. But....Not for a still. Making a new type of water heater. Let's do something cool
Where can a person get copper sheet? some online search got me looking at a 36" x 9'/ 16 Oz./22 Mil/25Lb. Copper Roll for 460$, is that high? Awesome video, no idea you could do such a thing as this👍
ciao sono colpito dalla tua bravura nella costruzione dell'alambicco, per piqcere mi puoi dire lo spessore in millimetri della lastra di rame Grazie Anticipatamente
Excellent video, learn a little everyday, one of those moments the penny drops. I just have to cut up a old copper tank for the sheets, boooom, have subscribed and liked saved, thank you for sharing
@@Stuff.I.D0 hiya just old copper tanks from your plumbing, in England we call immersion tanks, my mates a plumber he scaps them regularly, but way in for around £60, was hoping they was bit cheaper to be honest, but probably get a mtr square or more, then just clean off the impurities. Thought be a cheaper way of having a go.
Straight up Love your Content. Im a roofer by trade but specializes in copper down pipe with no rivets or solder. But am interested in home distill,. Thank you for not putting out a time Laced clip. ❤
Thx dude, I liked that you showed us the difference between the wild sarsaparilla and the poisonivy, thx for all the up close details and I'm waiting for episode 3 (If you have one ofc)
I used a 32 gallon garbage can as my jig. Double lined it was jonesing for copper. Brings back memories gave it to a friend when I left the smoky mountains I made it in a cup shop I had worked at. I hope he used it
yes, or 3d print and graphite coat then electroplate with copper, or any shape, or various electroplatable metals, like titanium/chromium/nickel, electroforming thick structural layers
I should make a video on the condenser. I can tell you that it's 1/4" flexible copper, formed around 3" pipe and cased in pvc. It's cooled with a submersible fish pump drawing from a 5 gallon pail of cold water. I find I have to switch it up at least once per run, depending on the season. No more than three times. I've yet to make a thumper. I have a smaller spirit still that I run on a hotplate. Used for 2nd and third distillation.
Hi. I had a bit of a laugh at 4:07 when you showed the plumbing flux, lead free. The origin of the word plumbing comes from the latin word plumbum and means "lead". In French it means plomber. A fuse in French is "plombe" because in the early days they used a very thin lead wire. And pipes were made out of lead. And who uses pipes? A plumber or plombeur. Funfact :)
Maybe stop looking for easy outs. No, you CAN'T make a copper still in ten minutes, but you (or at least some people) can get the information in 10 mins. The first clue is the video length. And I don't write the music.
A couple thoughts. One is that a still be made with various sizes of copper pipe. These designs allow the flexibility to easily reconfigure from a pot still to reflux to a hybrid as the slip-together pieces are sealed with rye flour paste. Such a system can be broken down and stored away taking up less room. Knowing how to use a TIG welder on copper is a big plus for specialty components.
Thx. It does slip together and seal with rye paste. You can see it run here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5y-X3xZ_qt4.html Stores under 40" I agree though. I need a tig.
On the reducers, going from one inch down to, I believe 1/2 inch, is it necessary to use the incremental reducers, or can one go from one inch directly down to the one half inch?
So it starts at 1 1/4" and I went incrementally more cause I couldn't find a direct reducer. Not sure there is one. I don't think it would change a lot though.
The video is under ten minutes, but the actual elapsed time is more like 10 hours. You didn’t show everyone that you backed up the copper with a steel pipe when you hammered the rivets in. And the finished one looks beautiful but the in progress soldering was horrendous. Two different pieces of work. Lots of other scummy work going on there, but you don’t show it. Just one machinist’s opinion.
So I should have done a ten hour video? Or a bloopers reel? I think you're missing the point here. And it was not two different pieces. But thanks for the time you must have taken to pick apart the video.
I have a book on distilling written in 1808 or 1809. One of the truisms it taught me was , you cannot grind barley malt too coarse or corn too fine. Meaning just break the malt up and get the corn to dust if you can. Getting the corn that fine gets, first the malt enzymes very exposed to it and later the yeast.
