I enjoyed the video thanks

I added you because we need more channels that aren’t fermenting Oreos 😂 Dig intended

I'm going to use both maceration and vapor. I'm going to macerate the heat resistant botanicals, but put the more sensitive ones such as citrus, berries, etc into my gin basket. Maybe I can get something somewhere in the middle, or a combination of the two.

One of the things it does is break down esters. Esters are chemically a carboxilic acid, chemically bound to an alcohol, be that ethanol, methanol, etc. By making it basic, it can break those esters apart.

Great idea mate. So glad I saw this. I’m now a subscriber

2 ounces of ginger mead makes my wear and tear arthritis feel good!

I recently installed 6 kw solar inverter with 4 batteries and ten 580w solar panels in my home .I faced same problem so I have put water air cooler in front of the inverter .now it's working well .in july nowadays the temperature here in Pakistan is 46°c to 48°c sometimes it goes upto 50°c.alhamdulillah(prase be to Allah).....

Did you run either of the products through Activated Carbon?

Do you think it would work equally as well if the fan was extracting hot air from the top of the inverter and therefore pulling cooler air from below ? I believe my inverter has been installed very close to a ceiling and therefore there is heat build up above. So I will install fans above to direct hot air away. Does this make sense . ? Good video btw !

I wonder how that would effect the outcome of a gun run ..?? What effects would it have on the pick up of esters and oils ..🤔?.....would enhance or retard them or just do nothing ??🤔

Youre suppose to memic Final Court down not mission impossible

Am pleased to report that my nettle wash worked well.

Now try blowing bubbles.

The sodium carbonate problem still intrigues me. If you search for: How to cleanly separate Ethanol from Vodka using no lab equipment and ordinary baking soda. You will probably find an answer.

try dry nettles which gives you a black liquid.

Did you use to tap water or bottle to make your wash I’ve looked on line and have never really got a good answer to if you can use tap with turbo yeast

Why not just make your own sodium carbonate? You can just heat baking soda in a pan for about 20 minutes. All you are doing is knocking off one of the carbonates. Then you know for a fact that it is food grade.

Game over

I cant work out which way your fan is facing. Does it blow air straight up through the inverter grill? I have just got a fan and have put it directly underneath and it blows air up the wall through the grill. Preparing for proper hat days

Can I mix sodium carbonate with my drinking water

Do you see any problem trying this in an air still?

I've been enjoying your videos - thank you for posting. I'm late to the party here, but the packed section should go between your plates and your dephleg. For the packed section to "reflux" and increase ABV, it needs a condenser above it to send condensate back down the column. You're getting bugger all reflux the way you have it. You will find you'll lose flavour if you use a packed section when running a "brown" wash/mash (eg: rum, whisky, etc.). If you want to maintain flavour do away with the packed section and just run plates. I gotta say, I just don't get plated columns for the home distiller (they look cool tho!). The same effect can be had using a packed column and varying the amount/height of packing in the column and varying how much condensate the reflux condenser sends back down. A more economical method. Cheers from Australia.

you should try the same thing but with tpw, tffv, and a weetbix wash

Using your method of incorporating the Soda Crystals into a second distillation, I'm having some good results with the following method. Keep up the great work mate. Classic 8 Turbo Yeast. 8 Kilo's of sugar. 20 Litres of water at 30 degrees Celsius. Method:- Sterilise all brewing equipment. Add 20 litres of water at 30 C to a 25 Litre (5 Gallon) brewing bucket. Add 8 kilo's of granulated sugar and stir until dissolved. Add HALF of the Classic 8 Turbo yeast packet - this will ferment out to 20% ABV after two weeks. If you want the wash to ferment out in a shorter time, add all of the yeast packet. There is no need to use the “Carbon”. LOOSLY sit the lid on the brewing bucket. Keep at around 25C for the fermentation period (I use a fish tank heater). Once Fermentation Has Finished. There is no need to use finings, nor is there a need to leave it to clear on it's own. The wash can be distilled as soon as fermentation has stopped. Just make sure to degas it well. Stripping Run Using a 6L, 900w, Water Distiller together with a voltage regulator, add 6L of the wash to the distiller. Connect the power lead to the water distiller, via the voltage regulator. Run at full power for 20 minutes, with the distiller cap OFF Once the wash has warmed through, place the distiller cap on, connect it via a direct power cable to an electrical outlet, and switch on (This allows the fan to run at full speed. Connecting it to the power socket on the distiller, will mean that when the voltage regulator is turned down, the fan will also run slower). Set a jug, or similar, under the outlet spout, and collect the first 60ml. This can be used for cleaning, or adding to the screen wash on your car. After the first 60ml has been collected, place your “Proofing Parrot” under the outlet, turn the voltage regulator down to around the point where the distillate, coming out of the parrot, is a steady drip, and collect the distillate until the hydrometer is reading 20%ABV. Switch off the power to the distiller BUT, LEAVE THE FAN RUNNING FOR A FURTHER 10 MINUTES. Store the distillate in another brewing bucket or demijohn and, run another stripping run. The Spirit Run Measure the product from the first two stripping runs (both volume and ABV) and, using the link below (or similar) temper the product down to less than 40%ABV www.distilling-spirits.com/tools/calculations/diluting-alcohol/ Add 6 litres of the distillate, to the water distiller, AND, ADD 3 LEVEL TEASPOONS (half a level teaspoon per Litre) of Washing Soda crystals. Run the still, with the lid/Condenser/cap OFF, at full power for the first 20 minutes then, replace the lid/condenser/cap, reduce the power to the same point as the stripping run, where the distillate was coming out as a drip. And leave it to go. THERE IS NO NEAD TO COLLECT THE FIRST 60ML OF THIS RUN. Collect everything down to about 30%ABV. Measure the quantity and %ABV, of the distillate collected and, again using the calculator on the web link, proof down to your desired %ABV and add the flavourings of your choice. Using this method, of double distillation, is allowing me to make just over 10 x 750ml bottles of 40% ABV distillate, from a 25 Litre wash. ALTERNATIVELY! A THIRD Distillation Again, using the calculator, refill the distiller with your desired volume of 40%ABV distillate and ADD some botanicals (your preference/choice - I used two eating apples and a half a handful of Juniper berries. Which gave me a Gin, with a hint of apple), DIRECTLY into the distillate. Run as per the Spirit Run.

Thank you sir Question is it safe will be a methanol on fermentation?

You’ve gone quiet on the videos. Hope your ok pal

30 C is a heatwave in your country? damn we get 48-49C regular in summers.

I don’t think the music helped.

Where did you buy the degasser pump?

It was 3 years ago, but after watching the video I could not help it. It appears that your towels have higher thermal conductivity than the air. In other words, it takes you more time with your "insulation", cause you literally heat mash + towels. Use correct materials, and you will see effect

Your biggest problem is you didn’t let it age. Those off flavours in the essence will disappear if you let it age 1-2 weeks with any essence

What the smelling or the running through the daisies

I see you have run the packed column both over your plates and under your plates. What are the different results between the two setups?

Shine on!!

I have not yet tried the same brand I bought, as mentioned in these posts I am keen to understand what the finished product would taste like, say compared to Angel (which is my go-to). Thanks for the video, great work understand the effort these take to produce!

Que levadura se utilizas y cuánto tiempo hay que dejar fermentar

Thanks for your reseearch videos... They' re grrrreat!! I've done a few SC- enhanced spirit runs. While it does make a huge difference in getting a cleaner spirit, I find I get a definite hint of bread soda on the tongue on a number of my cut jars. Any thoughts on this?

Hi there, I have done exactly the same thing with an Inkbird controller and a ventilation fan. The main difference is the ventilation fan filter. This stops the heat sink fins from getting covered in dust over time. The dust reduces the efficiency of the heat sink. I also note the small range between the SET temperature and the turn-off temperature. Turning the fan off and on many times during a heat cycle has the potential to ware the relays in the controller and reduce the life of the fan motor. Note you have left a gap between fan and the bottom of the inverter. Good move, when the fan fails the natural convection cooling will not be affected. Great video, thanks for sharing your design.

Good vid thanks for that I've had 2 home brewing shops tell me with my sugar yeast wash I don't need to collect Heads & Tails with a sugar yeast wash just collect the Lot when using my (reflux) still minus the 4shots but by the looks of your vid I should be collecting heads and tales to rerun later I also carbon filter with granulated carbon in my tube filter

We don’t get ginger wine here in India except sometimes in duty free and I love ginger wine 😢

Can you advise the temperature range (°celsius) that you collect during distillation please? As a newbie I am looking for confirmation of 77° to 93° celsius as correct. Thanks Mate.

i hope you relised by now you need a rectification or take off plate under id put a double helix above it may not be eficiant enough just putting the shotgun vertical for reflux look at the boka bob design for 96 wont need to be as tall if useing plates aswell

Tats sooo awesome!!! What a beautiful wine!! Love it!! May I know which wine yeast did u use? Is it Lalvin K1?

Good vid. I've ordered my parts from Amazon and I'm going to try converting my keg to electric this week. It's a lot of voltage, so I'm trying to get as much info before I electrocute myself... LOL It looks pretty straight forward. I don't think there should be any issues.

This is the first I have heard about sodium carbonate, how much did you use per volume

Sodium carbonate should keep acetic, propionic and butyric acid from coming over in the distillate as the acids, by keeping them as their sodium salts which aren't volatile. It should reduce the formation of ethyl acetate and other esters quite a lot during the distillation too, by tying up the acetic acid and other acids as the sodium salt which would prevent them from reacting with the ethanol. No idea what it does to "fusal oils", because I haven't seen analysis of what they're actually made up of- but the acids and esters are definitely in the wash, and they smell and taste "bad" or "off". Ethyl acetate in particular can be smelled and tasted at quite a low concentration, and butyric acid is quite disgusting- not sure what propionic acid smells or tastes like but doubt it's nice either That would explain the higher pH in your distillate from the sodium carbonate relative to without it, but not why your low pH distillate went to pH 8 when you diluted it- unless your tapwater is very hard, i.e. from a well (water from rivers or lakes tends to be soft, well water can be either soft or hard).
