HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAT MY STILL PART 1

This channel is designed to offer insight and background on the science, art and practice of making alcohol based products at home.

[@karstenhyldgaard9039]

Good to see you again, I was getting worried for you. All I'm hearing about covid in USA is that its getting out of hand.

[@jamesramey3549]

We missed you George!!

[@scottdesart275]

George, I’ve struggled with this for years! I’m really looking forward to part 2

[@Dabhr2]

I love your classroom approach, it makes it so much easier to quickly get it right! Thank You!

[@stillfrugal614]

Thank you Georg. As always, you have taught me something that I an use to determine the efficiency of the still that I am creating.

[@warrencourt7938]

Great to see you back, happy new year.

[@jimmelton7299]

I really injoy your videos. They are so inlighting an packed with knowledge. Thank You.

[@normandbelisle11]

I was so inspired by your videos that I am now distilling

[@marcelohernandez7215]

Master George spreading and distilling science in the best interest of knowledge!!!! Thx George!!!!

[@rocketsroc]

Welcome back! Nice clear discussion of some complex science!

Great to see you again. Happy new year bud!

[@royhendershot]

Thanks George for all your insight.

Great to have you back George missed your videos 👍

A cool vid as always George putting out good info. I have a 13 gal pot with only 120 available. So it takes me all day but it works and low and slow is the only option I have lol. I do have a propane burner but I dont mind spending the time with the undersized element.

[@josephkordinak1591]

It takes exactly as long as your combination should take. Good video George.

Hey George, good to see you back. I asked B&B if you were ok.

[@heymulen1840]

Hey George, glad to see you back in action :-)

Happy to see you again, George!!!

[@edwardhelms7468]

I'm glad your back making video was worried about you and your family.

[@brocksterification]

Thanks George!!! I'm learning and refining........ PID control has given me so much more control and ease of operation and I'm inspired to make more improvements in this hobby that gives back!! 🤣 Is it worth insulating the boiler pot with a blanket to reduce thermal losses to the atmosphere or is this simply a "fact of life" and an important part of the magic that happens inside the boiler component of the still?

[@cowboyway99]

New to your channel. Very informative. Thank you. Is your website down? I can't get on it.

I HOPE YOU TALK/ TOUCH ON INDUCTION STOVETOPS. Randy from PA.

[@jeffwilson4010]

First like. I use an induction plate with a steel plate on my copper 10 gallon still. Works great. No fumes or flame. Great control of temperature too. Got it on Amazon.

[@mushroomman1856]

I have an 8 gal pot and an induction stove top. I have considered using a stainless steel plate but on the inside and slightly elevated 1/8''to increase convection. Thoughts?

[@jeffwilson4010]

@@mushroomman1856 copper will not heat up on an induction top. You need the steel plate.

[@jeffwilson4010]

I got both induction top and plate on Amazon

[@mushroomman1856]

[@mushroomman1856]

@@jeffwilson4010 IM ON MY 3RD RUN JUST WONDERING IF IT COULD HEAT UP FASTER.

[@jamesramey3549]

Heating mine right now. Do we add salt to make it heat up quicker lol

[@congoparrot]

welcome back

[@wldtrky38]

I'll find out soon, right after I finish my PID 😉 And I'm getting close, lol... Thanks George ! 🥃 #HAPPYDISTILLING

[@wldtrky38]

Build complete ! Set and tested, seems to be fully functional 😁 Thanks again George. I could have never done it without ya !! 🥃

[@johnhedberg1624]

You spying on me George? Haha I was talking about this less than an hour ago. I recently switched from propane to electric. My Btus are significantly lower now, but controlling the temp is no longer an issue. I feel that it was a worthwhile sacrifice so far. Saturday will be only my 2nd run since the switch. I was considering preheating the mash to something around 100f before adding it to the pot still.

[@davidrogers6262]

That sounds like a great idea preheating to 100.

[@johnhedberg1624]

@@davidrogers6262 I think it will save me a lot of time. I have a small setup, so I'm usually doing 2 stripping runs then a final spirit run. So in a day I end up going from room temp to distilling temps 3 times. By the end of the 1st time I've cleaned and put away my tools plus swept the floor. After that... its just staring at a thermometer.

The #moonshinemessiah returns! Missed you Boss.

[@JesusisJesus]

George, my friend tried to commit suicide twice after beating the shit out of his Mrs. George, my friend died April 8 because my shine was too strong, Her niece is now an alcoholic. My mate from school died of liver and pancreas cancer in May I have diabetes as f August. George, you taught me how to make the hooch was TOO GOOD. Please warn people that tts no joke. From George in Australia.

[@deronthomas7904]

Could you build a still that is like a double boiler pot?

[@shawnbrett3136]

Can I adjust the temperature on my Turbo 500 to pick up more tails ?

[@CalSextons]

Ahhh . . . conservation of energy / thermodynamics . . . 25 years out of Chemical Engineering School . . . who knew I’d be back here again. Lol. If only they would have used spirits stills for class 😂😂😂 Thanks George . . . Your walks back down distillation lane, is so much fun
