Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- First, thank you to "the still guy" for this awesome still it is beautiful.
In this video, we will be going through the process of getting a new still ready for use.
We will be washing the still, doing a vinegar run, and a sacrificial run to get our new Mini still ready for use.
Thank you very much if you will like to get in contact with me please send me a mail on.

Fantastic Video bro. Keep up the good work. I just built a brewery in my garage and I plan to start putting out videos soon. It'll probably be complete garbage content but I need a new hobby. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Sober,
Awesome can't wait to see your first video please drop a link as soon as you can will love to check it out.
Don't stress about making it good just get videos out, I am still learning to make videos.
If you need any advice or tips please hit me up we can have a chat
Cheers
Right on. Just subscribed......so don't let us down, Bro. 😉 Cheers!
Gorgeous still! Now you finally have one small enough to do a head to head challenge with me😂
Brother to try and challenge you is like going into a gun fight with a pea shooter, you will destroy me.
Always up for the challenge...😅
I would love to see another challenge between Bearded, Bever and Jesse!
@@sambate143 That will be awesome what kind of challenge do you think we should do
I'd love to see a repeat of the last challenge with different ingredients. I've a few other ideas that might work also
Use a local waste stream to make the best product possible ( eg whey, packing peanuts, fruits etc) Must be repeatable
Choose one recipe and each try to make it exactly the same. Compare results
Ask Alan Bishop to set and judge the challenge
Make a product from a botanical or fermentable local/ native to you. compare
Thanks for the great content
I never considered using watered down heads for a sacrificial run, cracking idea thanks man
Super cool.
Nice shiny new toy there.
Just for safety (I don't like using naked flames with a still), if anyone is getting something like this made from scratch, then I'd consider having a stainless steel or ferrous metal disc made. This would need to be designed to fit under your still base so you have the safer option of using a portable induction hob as well as gas.
I think a portable induction hob cycles on-off-on-off-on-off etc.
😂 Hose Pipe?
I thought only people from South Alabama called it a hose pipe.. Roll Tide!!
Excellent thanks for the heads-up on cleaning,
Have a lekker week!
Ciao ciao
Thank you Fabbica.
Good to see you back up and running.
Hi Beaver, I use glassware for my still with a stainless steal pot and copper scrubbers in the pot. Citric acid is my go to for cleaning the scrubbers ,but for hard to remove scale/ gunk a good dash of hydrogen peroxide with the citric acid works wonders. Cheers
Hey Beaver. Excellent and sound advice when using gas fired appliances when distilling not many mention the dangers of ethanol and a naked flame. (South Wales. UK)
Nice still! :)
Thank you Ansis.
Cant wait to bang out some small batch recipes.
Hey Beaver, to avoid scorching (if there were some remnant particulates floating in the wash) would a diffuser plate between the pot & the burner be advised? Just an extra piece of flat copper or stainless to spread the heat out evenly.
Can't wait to see this puppy in action!
Hey RubberDuck.
Yes absolutely a fantastic idea I have a diffuser plate in my big still but for this small boy, the opening a bit small so for this I will get some copper scrubbies to put in the bottom.
Thank you for the awesome suggestions
Very nice looking still but it would be better if the collection jar was further from the flame.
Good morning Beaver , very nice little still if i may ask can you send the details of the guys how made it for you
man jy maak my sommer lus om my stil weer af te stof
Any tips for brazing/soldering copper to stainless steel? Im not having any luck doing so.
The first bit of methanol should clean out the remainder of the still I would think.
Are you able to tell us if the guy who made it has a website?
So, you run a still by temperature?
That little copper Still is sexy mate
