Moonshine Pot Still Distilling Beer Keg Kit DIY, 2" Copper Pipe Column Tri Clamp

I have a 4ft Liebig tube as shown, just need the pot, thinking of either a copper one from one of the still companies out there, or converted milk container.

@Bubba....you are lucky. My body is saturated with THC that even the best of flowers don't have the effect they used to. I think most of my problem is my lungs can't take big rips anymore. It make me wonder if I have forgot how to grow. Which is not the case...I hope.

My other problems is Mrs Pute doesn't want me in the kitchen cooking and smelling up the house. I need a shot of vodka.

This is a small one I was looking at:

I have had nothing cannabis since August. I do, however, have Titos. I dose it.

If I can't get there on marijuana and Miller Lite, I don't go.

I totally agree Too high priced But easy for an ***** to use.
I hate to see some people trying to distill their own 190 proof , they will kill themselves

Not really, people are doing it all the time. Outside activity, I cheat by leaving garage door about 2 ft open, and open side door.

Is that on Amazon? The link goes to ceiling fans on Amazon. I like the price...

Yup, Amazon. I don't want to spend to much $$$ as I have a lot of things to do on the boat before spring. Fond a 7 hp Johnson for $600 looking at it tomorrow....Money, money, money.

 

[Bubba]

Just how does that Tall column work , does it remove the worm and thumper from the equation?
I have 15.5 gal Kegs that I think I should be able to add a column on too .

For reasons I don't totally understand, but is explained by Greywolf places here, a regular pot still has to do a few runs to get 190 proof. With the extra tall column, it can be done in one run.

I will drink to your abstinence. Respect....but I have no willpower.

Facing the prospect of diabetes adds to my will power.

Don't know how much it matters, some are 1 ton, 2 ton, 5 ton and so on.

I've not had a drink since high school...done every drug available up until 74...the shiit on the street nowadays is anyone's guess...it does thin out the gene pool...

I'm already older than my projected lifespan, but the statistics change once you reach this old, because you have weeded out the weak ones that didn't make it this far.

Exercise, right diet and EVERYTHING in moderation.

I don't know how much it matters. The one I showed doesn't say how many tons. I think it is just a cam over clamp type arrangement?

I don't know how much it matters for our use?

I've read that even one of those hair clamp straighteners can do it if clamped. How much pressure is needed to squash bubble?

I hate getting into something new, I always develope a pile of rejects by the time I get there.
Would like to be once and done, oh well! Time to watch some videos on the subject.

What yr ?
If it has 2 spark plugs (and no compression tester avail) run the engine on idle and disconnect one plug wire at a time , then see if engine performance drops (after wire off) Then reconnect and do the other wire.
This way at least you can confirm both cylinders are firing, also check the water pump and make sure it is pissing good or good flow out of the exhaust port.
Lots of times when guys sell these engine they have been sitting around for yrs without use and the carb will need to be clean of the old gas residue that died in there.
Spark plug change is Recc if you do buy it, unless the guy just did a tune up recently .
Good luck, I use to fix a lot of out boards when I was younger if you need any help.
Make sure the gas tank is not all rusted up inside too , use a flashlight to look in it.
And never pay asking price start at 400 LOL

Also That engine should be easy to find parts for , Evinrude and Johnson are the same motors as far as parts.
WHAT YR is it?
I have a 9hp that I made into a 15hp by putting the carb from a 15hp on it
Your engine could prob do the same.
