    Putting water in the pipe and closing the ends and freezing it helps you bend it as well

    Can you please tell us more about the induction stove you are using (how many W and what's the diameter of the element)?
    I thought the Vevor was non-magnetic and wouldn't work well. But I see you're doing just fine. I just wanna make sure I get a good stove.

    • @kimchirednecks
      @kimchirednecks  5 місяців тому +1

      @@ToastedSynapseGaming It is a Korean brand Cuckoo stove. It is about 1800 watts. The diameter of the element is about 10 inches (I think). We have used it exclusively with our Vevor stills and have not had any issues. With our larger stills, it will take longer to heat (also if the pot is wider than the contact area), but it does the job.

      There are several home brewers that can be used to distill. I like these because they are easy to clean and work with an induction eye, so I don't have to worry about scorching the mash on a heating element.

    Hello, couldnt you make the condenser from flexible stainless pipe, just add a spacer to hold the coils? thanks , best regards

    • @kimchirednecks
      @kimchirednecks  Рік тому +1

      You could do that. Technically all you need is a heat conductive material to cool the steam back to a liquid. Copper is just kind of traditional and is supposed to help remove some things from the alcohol. Sulfer compounds I think.

      @@danieldavey3074 We do use our thumper quite a bit. It depends on what we are making. If we are doing a spirit run, we don’t use it. But when we do brandies or flavor runs, we always use it. We have had good results with our brandies using the thump keg but others don’t see as much flavor from it. We also use our thump keg with some mash and for our moonshine or whiskeys.

      @kimchirednecks  Рік тому

      Since our tube is now longer, it is less likely to get steam blown all the way through. (If you don't have enough coil when you are cooking, it is possible to blow steam all the way through it).Happy shining!
