    Pennsylvania Precision tap handles. Stainless

    Hey thanks. They are solid. Price is based on a qty for a first run... right now I'm just looking at interest. For early inquiries I can make a sample for you to try. I'm an American homebrew machinist.

    Pennsylvania Precision tap handles. Stainless

    I designed and made these out of solid stainless. I know at first look there are two sides..boring.. or sweet. They are more than sweet. The feel and balance when pouring is perfect. Anyone interested in obtaining these I'm testing the waters.

    Distilling - cold vs heat hypothetical question.

    With a pot still you do get flavors passed through.

    Clogging line from heavy hazy fix

    I keg into corny's. When I fill I hang a hop bag off a post and put the filler hose in the bag to catch junk so as not to clog the lines. This keg I just carbonated kept clogging. I may have slipped with the hose during filling. It's a pain once you're kegged. Came up with a fix. I removed the...

    Have a couple and make mistakes....

    I was a bit light headed and decided to brew. Made some mistakes... hoping this isn't a waste of beer. Brewing DME kit Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA clone. I added the 2 packs of dry hops at the end of the boil. Obviously should be days later in the fermenter. Should I get more hops and do the...

    Picked up a 10 gallon copper still

    What do you all think about this thumper design? This is a 3 gal thumper with a 2-1/2 sitting on top as a stripping head. Small water coil mounted externally on the very top to help the water drop back.

    DIY still column for bayou 30qt

    That's fine to use as far as I know. No exposed aluminum.

    DIY still column for bayou 30qt

    I would never use aluminum, especially mixed with other metals of different coefficient's of expansion. Aluminum expands quickly when it gets hot. Might make for leaking as temps rise. Also I don't like those grey mashed potatoes you get when you make them in an aluminum pot.

    First sacrificial run of a 5 gallon batch of sugar wash.

    Picked up a 10 gallon copper still

    Yea but sans vodka and gin what's the point in pure ethanol? I can just buy a bottle of Everclear and do as i wish. I like the idea of the old method and pulling flavors from the mash/wash. I'm new at this and am just having some fun besides brewing beer. It's a lot easier to do this after...

    Picked up a 10 gallon copper still

    I just ran a vinegar run tonight. Had a blast. Looking to fire it up again cooking more of what's left. Next I'll rum my sacrificial sugar wash. Then I need a good recipe.

    Picked up a 10 gallon copper still

    Agreed. I'll do a vinegar run... may twice. I didnt put much raisins in. The box I had was almost empty. That will be the seasoning run. I'll dump that too. Gotta start another batch. Go a good recipe?

    Picked up a 10 gallon copper still

    I think I'll do an initial vinegar run as well. Other still manufacturers recommend it

    Picked up a 10 gallon copper still

    The company I purchased it from recommended against vinegar as it eats copper. I'm pretty sure one run wont hurt it but I went with their recommendation and am doing the sugar wash. The ingredients arent expensive. I have a 50lb bag of dextrose for the real run.

    Picked up a 10 gallon copper still

    Guess I'll have to pick up a PH meter or strips. Still haven't run it. Still bubbling. Not a whole lot concerned about the wash since this is a sacrificial run to clean it. First runs will be done out in the garage over a spare electric stove. Pics to come. Lot's to learn.

    Is this good for anything?

    Maybe turn it into a column
