I actually used to dabble with shine myself. I had a 3 gallon stainless still that would distill on the stove. My favorite recipes were fruit based. Tho I did make corn whiskey and one time used Sweet Feed from the coop. That put me on my ass for real. I stopped doing it because it's really a lot of trouble for such small batches. I did enjoy it for a while tho, by the time you added up the cost of all your ingredients and yeast it really wasn't cheap for small batches. Do you use the CO2 for your plants? I mostly used 24-48 hour yeast and that was kinda pricey. My exes son borrowed my still and so know it's just gone. It was like $130 on eBay. I probably won't ever distill again. But, the reason I learned in the first place was for like survival. Knowing how to make shine, I mean it can be used as fuel or like rubbing alcohol or to drink it. maybe one of these days I'll try some of yours. What recipes do you use for your mash? I never used sugar but did use corn syrup several times.

ohhh stil talk

aye i used it for my tents ....did great u can get 5 days off a bucket of mash each bucket give me 1 gallon of 140 proof ( cost of a run mash 2 bucket 1 run 30 bucks for the buckets 3/4 bucks in power ice for water for worm 20/25.....total 60 bucks ....gallon in spring summer fall 80 bucks winter 100 bucks)

mine is run based ......same as the higher north shiners do
12 lbs of dark brown sugar
1 heaping table spoon of gysum (phs it to 4.0 and makes water like mountain stream)
6 tbs of yeast nutrient
1 quart of honey
4 gallons or so .......u go to the 6 gallon mark in a 7 gallon brew)
heapping of DaDY yeast (22% 23 if u get it right)
per bucket .......gallon for thumper rest for stil once yeast is settled (i use kleer)

Stil i have is a converted american stainless steel beer keg....1500w water heater element .......everything after is copper head packed with copper mesh going to a 5 gallon thumper going to a sealed worm running off a 55 gallon cooler and water pump (run yah 5 or 7 now with copper prices)......i can do 160 (165 if i double run but that is a bomb) i collect down to a 100 (with the thumper i know once i get there it is going to drop fast so i get half gallon of tails for the thumper next run)

i just need a electrical out let with a 20amp breaker (it is 15 amps heater 1 something for water pump)
1 run 2 gallons of 140 something proof 60 bucks to run 160 on recoop for profit of 100 bucks plus 10 days of increased Co2 in system

the trouble is ppl are idiots when they drink shine and want to blame someone .........so the supplier is normally that person so after awhile only a few ppl really order so it can pile up .....then u can store it in a barrel or a carboy

oh the best part
this mash ........u only need to cut of 250 mls of heads ......since it is sugar it only makes about 23 mls per gallon of methanol

i triple that for safety taken off 1/5 or 750 mls for heads on the run (when it is bucket mash not a reclaim)

Watching the national news cracks me up! They make you guys look like a bunch of Texans in a blizzard? Grocery store shelves are empty! Highways are jacked, what a nightmare.
We get plenty of snow here(MN) but have a lot more proper planning and giant plow trucks..
Good luck!!!

It sounds like a really nice set up. Mine was simple/novel compared. This is the same still I used to have from the same guy. It's certainly not the best and I didn't have a thumper. I don't know what proof it was but, I tried to keep the temp as low as possible. And it had a really good bite to it and would burn out of a spoon.

collect heads from the run then put the parrot under it it will fill the tube and then run off it will give u a rough idea of the proof (it is set for 60 degree so if it is colder reads more if it is warmer reads less )

Thanks man. If I ever decide to distill again I'll take a look at it. For now tho I'm just chilling. Not even growing right now. I split up with my ex like 7 months ago so I've been kinda laying low.

We don't have kids. I'm 50 she 55 we were married 6 years ish. She has kids I don't. I was single from 22 to 44 so I partied all the time and never slowed to have kids. I like them ok I'm just too lazy to want to raise them. Our break up was actually pretty mature over all. She still gets on m nerves but I limit our interactions. It's pretty much over. I would never set her up like that, I am sure you were just joking. I don't hate. I'm really all about the Peace and Love. Yeah she told me her new BF is like 70. lol. It's all good. She been married 5 times and her kids are from 3 different men and mostly didn't know their fathers. I know. Trash. She played the victim role on me so I moved her into my crib to be a hero. Stupid. I don't think I ever truly loved her tho.

well good hopefully she will fall for someone they get married and u are 100% off the hook for any money to her

as for dealing with her ........go to your doctor and tell him/her lorazepam 1mg tablets u would like 30 for dealing with ex wife .......take one wait 45 mins call a cab see her ...yes cab 2mgs of this stuff i was calm and not looking for escape paths in court when i was facing possible 20 years on a felony charge .......so no driving on them no drinking weed will make u pass out unless adhd

i got them for dealing with ass relative during holidays .....overwhelming urge to kick his ass 7 ways to sunday due to his ego and general attitude/actions.........lose count on how many time they have saved him from me

they slow u down so the impact of what they say or do has min reaction on u....and gives u time to override that instinct need to strangle this person

other wise 50 mg of seroquel .......or 3 good hits of some opium .........or several bong hits and a vape pipe/pen to maintain and counter her

Yes I am hoping she marries someone like soon. Let her start the next phase of her chronic victim life. I don't do pills at all. I was a musician in my 20's and musicians always know where the good dope is. And I loved pills way to much. Like a crack or meth head loves their stuff. When I turned 30 I just stopped. Stopped hanging with musicians and pretty much stopped seeing all my old friends. It took a couple of years to get over the thirst. My parents put me in rehab when I was 16 too. I fucked up dads car. Drinking smoking and popping pills. I have a friend tho that can do pills, Coke or anything and just stop. He doesn't get addicted. I jut can't do that. I would end up homeless.

I'm former USMC bro. I am very disciplined. Sure I get emotional but, mostly I quell it so I don't react. It's not that hard. I find strength and resolve in the challenge of not lashing out. She's just a person too. I'm glad she's gone. Life moves on.

your better then me

it takes every thing i have to fight the instinct and sometimes i need chemical help to the choice sticks and works ........i do not understand why i have to let ppl be assholes or dicks

your sitting at the bar having a drink with a buddy and hear a guy bragging about fucking a super drunk chick the other night and she was under age 15 year old
please explain to me why i can not go over there and twist the man head with 67 lb torque and watch his body fall to the ground for medical research .....i see no redeeming value in the persons life they make it harder for everyone else and raise the cost of living ......why not just end them give the body to medical students

same thing with anyone in prison that is severing life or the rest of their life (just kill them save the room the money the food the meds )
