I know where one is that's a lot like that !-- I like the worm !-- No thump keg-- doubler or whatever U call it ?
When U start a run what is your method of knowing when the head is cooked off( the bad stuff ) and U at the heart ?--Taste ? -- Or just did it enough to know ? --
 
Sugar liquor ?---- I tell U straight up --I don't know what a submarine still is and if I did --I'd lie !--
 
The steel pot by the worm is actually the thumper. I just need one more fitting. I throw out the first 50 mil, then taste. Since I don't have a thumper this time, I am running it twice. It's rye.
 
Seems to me a fellow could drop a few pieces of charred oak in a jar and by moving it from a cold place to a hot place every other day -- He might be able to "age" it about 3 years in about every 3 weeks !-- Don't see why it wouldn't work !-- cold draws alcohol into the wood the heat pulls it back out !-- Just a thought !
 
Yep !---one in one out ! -- Just be safe Nick one leak and it finds flame it's all over !-- Would that be oatmeal paste sealing the still ?
 
JAck Daniel's smoking chips. Grind em up in the coffee grinder, throw em in the jar for a day and add a tablespoon of honey. You would be surprised. Course you have to filter the wood chips back out.
 
That'll work !-- Couple weeks would smooth it right out !-- U cut it down to about 100 proof ? -- Some people don't understand the southern connection between 'shine and weed !-- U got any question just listen to Copperhead Road by Steve Earle !-- Pretty much lays it out how it happened !--
 
Too cool Nick. Told Keef I just didn't understand playing with wine when you could do that!
 
Why is it that whenever we have a problem I can't seem to find anything remotely like it anywhere! I have searched all year for a pic of this bug (spit, spit) that continues to plague me & cannot find one! Wish I could take a pic for you guys. They live on & in the stem where the roots begin, but not in the roots. On young & weak plants they eventually lead to the stem rotting there & even if they have good roots they can no longer feed the plant! Insert scream here! ANY input would be much appreciated!
 
Not for D.D. to drink !-- That would make her crazy !-- She don't need strong drink ! -- I can freeze off a gallon of wine and turn it into one 750 mil bottle ! --That's strong enough for her !-- pour a gallon of wine in an empty milk jug and freeze it overnight !-- Next day filter the ice out with a wire basket of something !-- Get rid of all that water an U left with an intense fruit brandy maybe 80 proof ? --I got a gallon of Wine I made with fermented apple pie filling !-- Ya'll would like my Apple Jack !--I did this before !
Yo Nick --U said U was smoking some "Homegrown" -- That might a been a derogatory term in the old days but -- Now a I'm proud to smoke some fine Homegrown!
 
Good Eve OFC
Have a few little one's. Hoping for a few more to pop.
DD For me I would almost have to see what your bug looks like.
And All this freezing of wine and Running of Rye. Has my mind running.
Off to make some dinner.
