Hope you had a great Christmas... look forward to your long term taste test on this one, great idea💡. Agree with your analysis of using a PID (basically they don't work) .... you can set them to a manual mode where you can adjust the power in 1% steps which is handy for fine control.
Merry Christmas Randy, just love your videos and the honest and unpretentious way you come across. I have been distilling rum and gin in my home made 100% copper still (called Doris 😜 ) for nearly 2y now. Am now ready to try my first bourbon and will be using a lot of your videos as a reference for sure. Thank you and greetings from sunny South Africa.☀🥃
I’d also like to know if you are having any problems with your PID. Crazy about your videos. Keep up the good work! You are providing a great service!!!
Another great video randy 😁 I have a bourbon aging at the moment and can't wait to try it I went with your wheated recipe so 🤞I might give the sweet potato version a go to. Keep it up mate 😁
I have been watching videos on how to make moonshine I have been watching moonshiners and also moonshiners distillery ever since I started on both shows I’m very interested in making moonshine so I’m going to go ahead and try to make some moonshine but first I have to save up and buy a cheap Chinese still I think I’ll try with those first if I can make good liquor I think I will save up and buy a nice copper still Keep on cooking
Don’t waste your time and potentially health. Buy a 2” copper still head for the same price (around 120$) and a ss beer keg. Makes a perfect pot still that’s easy to clean and American made steel and copper.
@@carboncopy110 I’ve been thinking about building my own keg still I called everywhere where I live to all the beer distributors no one is willing to sell me a keg
@@fourdeadinohio8303 I don’t drink beer I drink liquor But that’s a good idea I think I should have a party I have a whole Lotta brothers that likes beer
Hi Randy good job throughout this series so far. I'm curious about your opinion and what type of problems you are having with your PID? Thanks in advance CHEERS!
Hi Mike I learned on propane and with that i feel you gauge how your still is running by your out put and with the PWM switch I can copy that. The PID I had trouble with seemed like my flow rate was up and down to much and also when it turned on the element I would see a puff of vapor from the condenser then was afraid of scorch the mash something I need to work on
In my 30 gallon I always make 2 batches of mash together (I normally have 4 to 6 30 gallon mash tons full all summer) I will run the first batch like I'm keeping all of it, then I dump all the likker from first run back into the second batch of mash and run it. Makes huge difference in the taste. I run it down to bout 10% and use the tails in my thumper mixed with a lil backing out of the thumper from previous runs. It goes in the thumper around 30ish proof
hi Mr Brewer as I said I discarded the first 6 oz. collect a 1/2 pint then collect full pints and when i think im getting closer to tails go back to 1/2 jars taste all use whats good works for me Cheers my Friend
