My concern with rubber is petroleum based chemicals entering your still via vapor and contaminating your stripping run, thumper tank, and/or worm. You do...
I am doing a rum spirit run in a pot still. I stripped two washes. Both washes had an initial potential alcohol of 10%. In each stripping run, I threw away the...

It has been stated over and over here recently that you have no control over the boiling, and hence vapour temperatures. The more energy you put in, all you do...

I built a reflux still several years ago from plans on the homedestiller.org site. Â I have gone back on it to try to find them and they are burried somewhere,...
The surface area of my pot is around 63.68" sq., and my condenser opening is around 0.78"sq. For this reason steam and ethanol vapor is pushed through...
Increase the heat, my hearts start at around 191 and slowly increases to 193 before temp starts increasing faster to my tail cut off at 204 or 205. Even with...
Does anyone have any idea what enzymes would work best with oats (oatmeal)? I feel oatmeal will be a good place to start before moving on to corn, rye,...
You can use a little 6-row barley, (25% should do it fine) or you can use a mix of enzymes made for distillation. Primarily alpha amylase and proteinase are...
I use alpha amylase and gluco amylase from Mile High and they have worked fine for me. I use a dose of the alpha during the cook/gelatinization stage which...
Robert, There are a lot of variables, and in the end it comes down to experimentation and personal preference. Take a look at this yeast reference chart for...

My last stripping run acquired 2 qts. of heads, hearts, and tails, and my pot still is 2.5 gal. 7.5 gal should give you around 2 gal., 30 gal around 7 gal. ...
Besides barley, I read that mung bean, chick pea, and alfalfa are high in enzymes, so I bet they will add an interesting flavor to wort. Thanks for the info, ...
Simple:Â 3/8th = 3 divided by 8Â = 0.375" 4/8 or 122 = 4 divided by 8 = 0.50" 0.500 - 0.375 = 0.125 or 1/8 Not a lot of difference, but bigger is faster ...
