Hello, My dad and I are in the market for a new still. We make grappa and our old still broke. Our old still had a large threaded top to load/unload the...
Hi Ac My first thought/question is whether 12 L is large enough if you are using grape stems and skins? I don't know anything about a water seal still. Is...
Ciao a tutti. In my opinion you can't get a lot from a 12 lt. alhembic: too small. That kind of alhembics, if I'm right and not making confusion, are mostly...
Hi, folks, Link, I'm glad it worked! A little more testing and blending and I think my limoncello will be quite acceptable too. Regards, The Baker ... time...
Thwnks again, Wal, My still is copper (apart from the boiler and the Liebig condenser) so I will think about setting up a stainless pot still, perhaps a small...
Hi, folks. That's interesting, Bob, because I have a kaffir lime in a big tub. The poor thing is a bit neglected but now I will be sure to give it the love and...
Hi, folks, Some years ago I bought, from a winery, a stainless 44-gallon drum (with a normal top, not a clamped lid) and a couple of stainless steel LINED...
Hi If you´re buying you may want to take a look at Brewhaus and MileHi at http://www.brewhaus.com http://www.milehidistilling.com Hope it helps, Alex...
Hey, Baker, Be really, *really* good to that tubbed kaffir lime plant; it's one of the great flavors. The leaves are not sour at all, but are rich with what...

Ian, The Winemakeri are the wholesalers in North America. I guess the original owner of Adega died and the new company that bought them out, well, lets just...
Hello everyone, I have been using a 18 inch long piece of vinyl tubing as my take off for my column. I run the column slowly so the distillate is cool to the...
Fred, Personally after what Harry has posted on the subject I would get rid of it and elevate your collection vessel and allow the distillate to drip into it. ...
Hey Fred, In addition to what Harry has said, you will find many, many postings on NOT USING any type of vinyl (PVC), plastic or rubber tubing which comes...
fred I have used clear tubing for some time with no regrets. I call it "Tygon" tubing. I think that's a brand name. It is used in alot of industrial settings...
Hi Fred Brewhaus sells an alcohol tolerant plastic tubing, very long indeed that comes when you get your PSII; that´s what I´ve always used without having...
I have also made limoncello several times and have always had to dillute it quite a bit in order to get the right bance of flavour alcohol and sugar. This is...
Thanks,  I really don't like using substitutes. While the lemon juice had a great taste, the zest was flat. Such is life. It's drinkable now. My...
Baker,  I once had lemon vodka made by another member of this group that was awesome...really! If I remember correctly he used lemon zest in the bottom of...
Zymargy, I have made it a couple of times with kaffir lime leaves. I have made it both ways, that is fresh leaves and freshly dried leaves. I use about 30...
