@PoliticalPotLord its for cooling your lid when steam is hitting it at one point your lid reaches the same temp as the steam and won't condense anymore

so now you no where the ice is for

@PoliticalPotLord Yes he did show the ice.

if i distilled 2 gallons of mash using this method how much shine would i get ?

[PoliticalPotLord]

you said we need ice but you never showed what the ice was for? and what if we dont have a metal bowl could we cut a soda can? its not metal but would it work?

@LethaLeahRose yes you can burn all of the ethanol in your car but you will need a "reflux" still to get the ethanol to 90+ abv or 180 proof....if you drink it you must pitch the first 20ml in the trash....

[TheSleepermgm]

A potstill like this is only good for 45-50% abv the first run from mash.....you will have to dump the mash out and boil the ethanol again on ots own to get 85-90+ abv.....with a reflux still you will pull 85-90+ abv on your first run from mash......
