  • =0 this is sooo wrong! You have no clamp for the the round-bottomed flask! that's the most important clamp

  • The round-bottomed distillation flask is clamped (see 1:06) and the 'pig' is attached to the distillation kit by an elastic band. Perhaps we should've used a yellow clip there, though... Yes, it probably should be clamped for extra safety, but the use of a rubber band allows for easy rotation of the pig.

  • We've played this on a number of computers and the sound does seem to work. Not sure what's causing the problem. Let me know if you sort it out.

  • Nice introductory video, I'll check out your others

  • The sound is excellent now

  • @envolopettly And you couldn't have said that without calling the person a dumb ass and a retard?

  • @dickmartn I hope the plastic bucket isn't part of the still. You don't want plasticizers leaching into your distillate.

  • *after watching* SCIENCE HOMEWORK: MISSION COMPLETE

  • This still has a serious design floor, the receptacle in the pig doesn't hold enough distillate to get me drunk.

  • @dickmartn

    Where in the video or title does it say anything about alcohol?

  • @envolopettly Uh no it's called being a nerd....

  • What the hell? All you need is a pot with lid, plastic paint bucket. and a piece of copper tubing and you are making fuel alcohol or moonshine. All that glassware must have cost $1,000USD for a thimble of alcohol.

  • @lowlevelpanic999 Yea it's there, it's just a low clamp that comes off the base of the heating mantle.
