Tell us 3 things we dont know about you

[Milovan1]

Most of my family are in Athens... Mainly around Acharnes and Ano Liosia in the northern foothills. I spent a few of summers laying on the beach in Paralia Varkiza not far from Glyfada and partied and danced all night. It's been so long since I was there, I don't think I could keep up with them anymore.

The beaches are beautiful. Didn't know the name of this certain beach but the water was a clear light blue with soft light colored sand
and was only just above knee deep what seemed a 1/4 mile out so you can sit in the water way out from the beach. It was so aesthetic it's something I'll never forget. Simply breathtaking.

would putting the copper in a water bath help? i've watched alot of the series Moonshiners. lol

Not sure what you mean "water bath". If you mean the cooling water that cools the condenser, no copper would have no effect. I have pure copper mesh stuffed in the condenser column.

He's got a reverse flow right above it.

i'll plead ignorance and ask what that is?

BTW Nice setup

It condenses the vapor and then it drops down in the copper to collect.

from what i've seen they (tv show distillers) put the coiled copper tubing into what they call a 'thumper" to help cool down the condensate faster. like i said, all i know is what iv'e seen on a tv show so take that with a grain of salt.

and @Singlemalt what's the highest proof you've gotten so far?

96%=192 proof; but that took a long long time, you have to set it up for reflux and hit a steady state; all the while I'm burning propane. I can hit 91% routinely without the long time refluxing for the extra 5%

If you check my pic you'll see a garden hose connected to clear tubing on the left; that is the cooling water. I modded that set up cuz I was wasting water as it takes around 6 hrs to distill 8 gal of mash. My new setup has the water in a large cooler( ice bags in it), sump pump for circulation and a bus transmission radiator that the water goes thru after the dist column and before it gets back to cooler.

Wouldn't you want to separate the firsts middles and tails? Then you have a cleaner a drink and I don't know what to do with tails.

Thats what all the jars are for, I separate the various fractions; let them sit over night, combine what I want to keep, and either toss or save to redistill them with other batches.

That's cool.....or a few tri-clamp flanges and some tubing..... pretty simple stuff. I have a SS keg that I've kept just for that. I'd like to play around with some gin.

lt‘s illegal to rescue ravens?

Do it anyhow. I have. I used to own a pet store and one time a raven was hobbling around on the
sidewalk in front of my store and I noticed it had a broken wing so I picked it up and brought it inside the store
splintered the wing took care of the raven for 6 weeks then took the splinter off brought it back outside opened
up my hands and it flew away. I felt so good knowing the bird was okay now.
