Peach -Blueberry --partial gallon Cherry --Coconut --and a couple gallons of blueberry in the primary fermenter (water bottle)-- I was gonna buy me a 5 gallon primary fermenter but they cost $350 each !-- So I just built me 3 for about $30 total !-- I drilled a hole in the bottom of the water bottles that I plug with a test tube rubber stopper !-- I put the plug in and add the ingredients and yeast then screw on the valve cap !--I then turn the water bottle upside down and put it on a stand !---I remove the plug and insert a bubbler ( airlock ) --As CO2 bubbles up from the yeast working it can escape thru the valve !--As the yeast settles to the bottom I can open the drain to it off before putting it in gallon secondary fermenter --Gallon jugs !

Keep, I have a guy looking for me a still right now. I make no pretense though. My great uncle was/is considered the best whiskey maker in this area and I kinda grew up at his knee. I am trying for a 10 gallon copper still with copper worm and a thumper. You can buy any number of stills on line, I just want than old school. A good moonshine will sell for more than bonded around here and for good reason.

Keef, I still haven't gotten syringes. I need to order them online.

 

[Keef]

I been looking at some online Nick !-- I don't even drink anymore!--I had to give it and morphine up if I wanted to live !- After I started making wine I started thinking about a still to make some fruit brandy ---Plus weed pharmers sometimes make RSO and Everclear is expensive !-- Maybe I just make it myself !-- Just another pot pharming tool !-- I'll do just fine with weed if they'd let me !-- What I don't see on these store bought stills is a doubler and temp at temp gauge in the pot !--So I guess I'll probably have to get some copper and do some sheet metal work !--- I been thinking though about electroplating the inside of a stainless pot using my battery charger !-

 

[Keef]

Dog let me see what !--I know what U need !-- I got an old box of medical supplies that have accumulated over the years !--
Giggy that was probably a good idea about the haircut !---Stay well !

 

[Rosebud]

Good morning all, just got back from a blood test. On my way to trainer... smoked and coffeed up!
Giggy, sorry about the haircut but it could be a new makeover for you. Good luck today with the MRI.:vap-Bong_smoker:
Hope everyone has a fine day.. and as keef said, this pot isn't going to smoke itself. Safe trip DD. big hugs.

Putting a window unit in the grow room that used to run at about 50% humidity now runs at 30% !--I'm not used to this !---Hung a plant to dry and it got crunchy in about 2 days !--- Live and learn !-- Still burns !

[Keef]

Hey Hopper have U seen Big Chief's --Pro Mod -- Crow run on Street Outlaws !--It's a Rocket !

 

[St_Nick]

[WeedHopper]

Yeah i like his Pro Mod. Course i was partial to the GTO ,,,especially the Black Crow . I had a 70 GTO when i was a young man.
Chief is a very good driver too which makes a big difference on winning. I cant believe he didnt get hurt worse when he wrecked. That car was destroyed, ,,and it wasnt anything he could have done that night to stop it. That other driver felt awful for causing the accident. I felt bad for him too,,,but damnnnnn,,,Chief is lucky to be alive.

 

[Keef]

Hopper --I know that's right about Chief !-- Wasn't nothing he could do but hold on !--

Nick --Keep ? -- Don't bother me none !-- Hey those wooden kegs are great at that price !-- The still prices ? --Instead of $1,800 I'll just have to find another way !--- I'm thinking maybe I just convert a hot water heater !
What are they lined with ? --It's got just about all the parts built in !-- redo some plumbing ?

 

[Keef]

I got room in a cloner and I'm warming up my Zombie Juice ! -- Looks like 3 or so from my first attempt with clones might survive !-- So I do it again !-- Inducing polyploidy attempt #9 !--

 

[umbra]

At the price for those stills, I'll buy a rotary evaporator.

When I was in high school the counselor told me I wasn't smart enough for college and I needed to learn a trade so I did !-- Spent the last 2 years of school learning what I didn't already know about shaping steel to your will !-- Copper is easier to shape cause it's softer but it all works the same !-- Problem is I don't want to build one !--They had a 30 gallon still for for thousands !-- It's hard to get that cap skirt right ! -- I don't have the motivation !-- Rotary evaporator ? --I understand but the waste is exhausted ?-- Like for pulling the gas off of BHO ? --
I need to try my hand at electroplating! --I understand the process just never done it but I like copper !-- If I can plate my 10 gallon Crawfish pot and a dome lid I got the rest !--
Oops !-- I got B.B. cuts wilting and Zombie Juice warming up !--Time to take them to hell!

 

[WeedHopper]

Damn tnose things are expensive. Ouch,,,i would just have to stick to a home made still.

[Keef]

That rotary evaporator won't work right for shine Umbra !-- During fermenting part of the waste the yeast makes is acetone and methanol !-- So when we do a run the"head" or first part to come across is the nasties !-- First 10% or so !-- So when U cooking off the mash U number your jars because After the heads which you'll throw out -- U get to the "Heart" of the run !-- Sooner or later as the heat rises and most of the alcohol has cooked off --U hit the "Tails" --Another nasty watery part at the end to dicard!-- Those 800 gallon submarine stills ? -- They ferment then cook off in the same pot !---Best not get caught around one of them because ain't got an excuse good enough to talk your way out that !--
