Don't have to got o gunny's

 

Maybe Granny's!..or my own!

 

parts list
pressure cooker
copper tube The soft flexible kind
turkey frier themometer
copper fittings
rubber made tote

remove preasure relief plug from lid, this is where thermometer will go.

remove stem that preasure regulator weight goes on

this is where you will screw in your fittings for the copper tube to be attached

wrap thermometer with alot of teflon tape and screw it into where the relief plug was.

put mash in side cooker bring to temp on kitchen stoverun copper tubing though rubber made tote filled with ice and water and place end of tube over pitcher for distilled beverage to drip into.

If steam comes out end of tube your not cooling tube correctly

If themometer blows out of lid then you have a plug in the tube.

don't get it too hot slow and steady wins the race. thermometer is used to regulate temp not as a start or stopping point.



I suggest that you distill a lot of water at first to get the hang of running the still before moving on to the good stuff.

It has been a while since I have had mine up and running (like 4 years) but if you have any questions just ask.

 

Not bad for a boy from WA!!!!!!! I will point out that you can cool buy running your tubing through water or ice.

 

Sounds like all items available in Mikes work van.




BTW, Mike are you working again?

 

I decided to semi retire and go back to school...I don't really feel like working too much, but had to transition.,,,It takes a bit to transfer funds.

As far as the items....Name your poison!

 

My mother side of the family are from Washington, And my fathers family are all from Alabama, Oklahoma and other places in the Booze belt.

The wifes family are all frome the Northeast and the southeast and Miss and Luisiana areas.

 

I have been known to run the tube directly into the sink with cold water running into it but, now I pay for water and it is cheaper to buy ice,

 

If you thnk about it, the corn squeezins (mash) was not ready until the weather was cold. The old folks in Carolina had everything working with nature...LOL

 

I know but here on the west side of the mountain it rarely gets that cold and I actually run it on the kithcen stove and it never gets that cold in here

 

Mike you a a recipe pm

 

Let me give some thought..I do not want to get in trouble.

 

for your own use it is not "against the rules or laws" As long as you do not sell the fuits of you labor you are fine.

 

That was m grandmothers um.....hobby.....shall we say.
