these guys all seem to be cool.......but smashed also...lol....cool im off to buy 1 thanks

runs at temp of 212f and can be distilled a few times but you can only get a max of 83 percent abv from the machine

[nomoralsguy]

Can you distil the batch one more time so you make a spirit? What is the running temperature of this distiller?

[nectarineblue]

the carbon can also take out flavors and smells you want to keep.

i was thinking of doing this ....how can it work with spirits do to how hi the temp gets to boil water ???? i know you would have to run it back through to get 180 proof but the alc, burns off at a lower temp then water so how do you keep the temp down to keep the water out of the spirits ??......thanx

[ThinkPureTruth]

He is pretty funny. I feel like he raised my Blood/Alcohol content to .60 just from listening to him. I also thought that if we boil alcohol-booze, we remove the alcohol kick. My age and I still don't know stuff like this. Duh, LOL! Thanks.

[TheSleepermgm]

@ThinkPureTruth no the alcohol turns to a gas and you catch it with the still then flash it back to a liquid with a condensor and at this point it will be stronger.....you use the steam not the left over's....it like how crackheads cook the cocaine down to its base form to make it stronger....its the same thing.....lol

wow you are fucking boreing!

i have old beer from about 3 years ago. It is bottled and carbonated. Can this be distilled?....or does it have to be un-carbonated?

[joeman369]

@tsadl has to be un carbonated sorry man

[orangestoneface]

l did not discard throw away the first cup or two when l was distilling beer once, and drank the distilled beer , but did not go blind or die, it tasted badly so l drank little at a time l guess, remove the first 5% of the distillate termed 'foreshots', (containing esters, methylates, and aldehydes). They are distasteful but not fatal and the smell and taste is naturally prohibitive. On record, fore-shot distillate has never blinded, killed, or sickened anyone.

[betacrash]

Do you need to modify the water distiller? I thought you would need to since water and alcohol boil at different temperatures.

You can tell this guy drinks A LOT! lmao thanks for the video

[tigratigratigra]

The Amaretto that you can make with this is gorgeous, i also like the stillspirits Classic Whisky, i bought the Smartstill version of this machine and it's the best thing i've ever bought ..............Thanks for the Video :D

[SovereignBeing]

[starshock01]

alcohol distilling is legal if you are making it for fuel and denature it
