Yeah but right now I would just like some sunshine.

The stalks on every one of my girlz are a lot thicker this grow than any previous grows. I haven't figured out why yet but this time I'm following the Fox Farm nute schedule where I didn't in the past. I guess that means they won't have trouble holding up big fat juicy resin filled buds.

 

[umbra]

that's 1 of the traits I breed for, lol

 

[St_Nick]

Last plant I grew out inside had a huge stalk for an inside plant. I may have a picture.

 

[St_Nick]

Here ya go

 

[Keef]

Shoulda told me that Umbra !- I haven't seen that in what U breed !- Except for everyone of them and the frost too !- The frost is always there !

 

[St_Nick]

That is an 11 gallon root ball that was only 63 days old (after transplant) when she was harvested. Still haven't worked up the courage to bust up that root ball.

 

[St_Nick]

What do youse guys that use alcohol distillation think of this?

[umbra]

that's my setup, lol

 

[St_Nick]

Word has it that the return is a lot bette4r then what I get from my Magic Butter machine

 

[Keef]

What it make a thimble full per run ?-- Build U one like Gloman got !- Big ole pressure cooker-- some copper line - quart jar thump keg -- worm bucket - Ferment in 5 gallon buckets like i do with wine !-- Freeze a bunch of water ice off it before distilling so U can get what was 10 gallons of filtered mash into a 5 gallon still !- Probably get close to 2 gallons per run !- Then put it back in the still and cook off 10-12 % !-- 160 proof is easy !
Am I telling him right Gloman ?--

Good afternoon O.F.C ended up with a pretty nice day here in PNW.. Been lots of rain around but looks like we are going to have some sunshine for a while..
My little ones are Two weeks old and doing well. 3ea blackjack 3ea blue mystic
Nick nice stump on that root ball....

 

[thegloman]

Pretty much! If you're distilling liquor.
I believe tho that this rig is for different purposes than liquor.
I used lots of glass way back when, then found ghetto glass to meet my needs better as it was disposable.

 

[Keef]

Then U put a char on some small chunks of white oak or other whiskey barrel making wood -- Get some wide mouth gallon jars with tight lids - put a couple fist sized chunks of the alligator charred wood in a wide mouth jug then fill it with shine - Put the lid on tight- Then Put the jugs in a warm place for a week - then put them in a cold place for a week -- That's one year of aging !-- How old U want this bourbon to be ?
Just teasing It's only for extraction - But a 20 year old bourbon ? -- U Ain't post to do this U know ?- I probably just read it in a book somewhere !-- Making liqour be against the law and U know I Ain't like that !

 

[umbra]

I may be mistaken but I think Nick is talking about reclaiming the alcohol after doing an extraction and not making 100's of gallons of shine.

 

[St_Nick]

I may be mistaken but I think Nick is talking about reclaiming the alcohol after doing an extraction and not making 100's of gallons of shine.

And you would be exactly right!

 

[St_Nick]

I already have a still and setup for making liquor. I would need at least 5 gallons of alcohol wash to make that puppy work for drawing the alcohol off without burning up the final product.

 

[Keef]

That would be different then !-- but if U was gonna have a couple gallons of wash - I'd put it back into the still reduce it down to fit in a bowl - clean the still with some more shine then put it all in a bowl and cook the rest of the shine off low and slow !- RSO in the bowl - shine back in a bottle ! Same device to make shine and RSO !

 

[umbra]

I use a small pump in a 5 gallon bucket for the cooling water into the condenser. Fill it with water a ice cubes.

 

[St_Nick]

That makes a lot more sense than cooling it from the faucet. Water costs as much as electric here.
