I'm chatin with a kid that is telling me if you apply for a ethonal permit the ATF comes to your house and tests your still. He is saying if they find you have used it you will be arrested. Also he is claiming if you get caught makin ethonal without a permit you will be facing 25 years in prison. WTF is up with that? Please someone reply to this and tell me he's wrong. I have a hard time believing someone would spend $2000 on something like this and take such a risk.
I'm going back and forth between a pot still and a reflux still. They say the reflux stills strip all the flavor also i heard it's not nessasary to use corn in the mash of a reflux still because it will srtip the flavores. I was under the impression that all the flavores were from aging in a barrel. What's your opinion on this? I'm not going to make fuel so i want the best spirits i can make and i figured i would age it to make whiskey and other boozes. Help please. I need some direction...
if you're going to talk on your videos then maybe try using a soundtrack that's only an instrumental and maybe only a 1/4 of the volume of your voice loudness. Just saying...
Your vids are very good, you guys just need a sound and video mixer.
Perhaps there is a version of this video without the music? It would be nice to not have to turn the audio so far down that I can't hear anything at all.
copper is much preferred over stainless. It removes all sulfides from your final product. The properties of copper are much more suited for distillation. Copper transfers heat much better than stainless also. If you use stainless you much have copper in the vapor path somewhere.
did you bulid that yourself? cause if you did, can you send me instructions to build it please? This design if freaking awesome, you got a reflux still built in with a little measuring aparatus for knowing the alcoholic percentage, what is it called?
NO LEAD HERE I only use the best Lead free solder and silver solder. solder all turns a little dark after some time. I AM VERY PROFESSIONAL AND WOULD NEVER USE LEAD...... THERE IS NO LEAD IN ANY OF MY STILLS.
LEAD SOLDER IS A HIGHLY TOXIC SUBSTANCE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF A STILL OR INDEED ANY VESSEL WHER A CONSUMABLE PRODUCT IS BEING PRODUCED.
For the safe production of Poteen (Moonshine) you should use silver soldered joints. Silver solder is far less toxic than using lead based solder.
that is just cheese cloth to make sure no floaty's get in the jar. working outside it seems occasionally a bug will want a sip. This keeps them out of the jar.
If this was a cleaning run and the huffing behind the parrot vent is just steam from running it hot, fast, how come the Alcohol gauge is showing high proof? I think the video states 88% Were you using alcohol to clean it? not water?
@stroker383vega The home distiller site has plans of this type of still. Just google 'home distiller' and look through the message board for flute stills.
what gives it such a quick flow? Is it the size of the boiler?

How many runs (slow) to a high proof neutral?

There appears to be some gas puffing out from behind the condenser, is this just some huffing from a vent?
