I was all moon eyed on this because I tried to do this and the threads didn't match. Glad to see I'm not crazy because it's like 31/32 of an inch on one end and a different thread form. I have a half dozen giant SS flasks I wanted to do something interesting with but there really isn't anything out there to mate to it. Absolutely hate plumbing.

[@BeardedBored]

@@SyBernot Yeah, when the first keg was a fail and the second keg arrived but wasn't perfect, took me a second to calm down and make it work. I basically treated it like a press fit and rely on the ptfe tape and flour paste as the real seal.

[@deadmenssilence4664]

Hi glad to see you're good bearded... Id like to see you hypothetically test a invert sugar wash into a sweet tea (flavor your choices i used peach tea) instant "aged" "whisky" ... Not a true aging just technically a colored new make

[@traditionbrewingandcook1206]

Bearded & bored have you tried a hypothetical mango brandy with no sugar if not that might be a good idea to try for a vid

[@CobraJeans]

Nice way to bend copper tubing fill it with sand caps both the end of the pipe then bend it. It works with water to if you freeze it outside only cap one end with water for the pipe to not burst

[@StillIt]

Ayyyyeeeee he's back!!

[@Josh-e2l]

Literally running your banana rum wash right now, bloody thing keeps wanting to scorch on me. Looks like I'll be here a while, running it real slow haha

[@BeardedBored]

Finally😜

[@prOkrEAt]

I heard he lost a bet and had to shave his beard.... Hence the pause of videos until it grew back out.

[@skepticfucker280]

Ok, so....... my whole life there has been a little bottle in my parents liquor cabinet that my father swears was made by his neighbor in the 60's and the claim was the liquor was made from grass clippings after mowing the lawn. Have you ever heard of someone else or tried making a mash from grass clippings? I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work, avoiding the dog pee ect would b a pain I guess. Lol

[@seankirby2887]

Haha I legit just said the same thing when I seen this!

[@dp5548-g1e]

Glad you're back. Here's my tip for everyone soldering, Clean and handle your copper while wearing nitrile gloves, it will keep the oil of your fingers off of your copper, and that is a good thing

[@BeardedBored]

Great tip!

[@dfriendly1966]

Super Cool to have you back.

[@SA12String]

I was in heating and air conditioning for 30 years. Folks, if you're hesitating because you're worried about kinking 3/8 or 1/4 inch soft copper, don't be. If you can kink soft copper that small, you're talented. Just do what he said and use something to wrap it around as a form and it will come out perfectly. Easy peazy.

5:10 what I did was use a fitting for refrigerator water line

[@BeardedBored]

Good idea:-)

[@tonyoliver4920]

Tin the pipes with solder. Wipe most off. Insert pipe into fitting. heat pipe down from join Watch join for solder flowing Old school method but it works

[@BeardedBored]

Where were you 2 weeks ago, hahah! Thanks!

[@russellfye1033]

Cheers Jessie. I brew beer so these safety net vids make sense to me. I'd love to keep seeing them pop up occasionally. Knowing a little on how to scale things is helpful - I want to make as much as possible in one go but it's always a balance for time - mashing, fermenting and distilling - So knowing how I can scale to smaller batches for one run helps.

[@walterscrap767]

Glad you're back and looking to those great video's and laughs. Cheers

[@johnk7093]

happy to see you are still around... and wish you could show us from start to end the "hypothetical" process.... am interested in seeing that... not doing it, but leaning for sure. cheers.

Yes! Pipe bending springs are cheap and they WILL make your work easier. An alternative is a plumbers bender which of course costs more but it's essentially a "forever tool".

[@erossi490]

[@BeardedBored]

[@watsok]

DO NOT use solder with lead in it to build this. Use Silver solder. The Lead will leach out into the distillate for you to drink if you use plumbing solder.. Glad to have you back!

[@DH-xw6jp]

Is normal lead free plumber's solder made for soldering hot water pipes not suitable? (Im not a pro, i thought there was only two types, electronics and lead free plumbing solder)

I made something similar with a double lined tiny keg. Added two ports to turn it into a tiny jacketed steam boiler powered by the outlet of a pressure cooker. Hypothetically works amazing for experimenting with fermented on grain or experiment fruit mashes without scorching. Glad you're back!

Cool video on how to make a mini still. Hypothetically could you ferment ground cinnamon and get the flavor to come through, or would you need to use a spice pot to get the flavor to come through…that might be a fun one to try with a small keg like that.

[@BeardedBored]

You could use a neutral spirit and infuse it, then rerun it. Kind of like gin.

[@michaelstevenbric]

Bearded - get a pot just big enough to fit your keg into and fill around it with oil (canola, or whatever) - BOOM! Now you have an oil-jacketed mini still that won't ever scorch.
