Just finished doing this. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I agree. It's a great mod for those vevors.
This morning I was interested in getting a still, an hour of you told me which to get; what to brew for it and how to run it, I buy a still and here you are with a video on exactly what I was thinking wasn’t too great about the EXACT still I’ve bought. You sir are a saviour to the beginner and a champion
Woohoo, you're on your way. I'm glad I could help.
@@StillnTheClear absolutely perfect, youre concise with your information but not elitist or patronising, it’s refreshing to see someone with the goal of spreading your craft and helping people interested
That’s so awesome. I didn’t even know they made that type of pipe bender. Getting one tomorrow. Thanks guys
Made mine last night. Came out really nice.
Looks awesome brother. Clean and well done 👍🏼. ✌🏼
Cool. For anyone that needs a solution prior to this, you can freeze a few liter bottles of water, and save several runs of ice from your ice maker and add the bottle to your supply/pump water container, and add ice to the condenser pot as necessary. Labor intensive, but it works ok. EDIT: I’ve since done this mod and it is so much better. Right now I still use 2 L bottles frozen… One for the coil bucket and the other for a water supply bucket so it gets cooling in both places and I still add ice to the coil bucket just to keep things nice and cold. Also if you don’t want to Undo the copper fittings in the original condenser, my kit came with a small piece of vinyl tubing that could be added to the output of the original condenser and there’s an extra small piece of copper there I suppose to angle down the final output, and I just connected my new section of coil to that little piece of vinyl tubing. Thus no flare tools needed… Lots of ways to get er done. 😅
Great tip. Thanks for sharing.
I have a cooler that I use for the condenser water, and simply refill it with ice as needed. I believe I may have gotten a different still, mine came with a pump and tubing to use an external tank for the condenser pot's water.
Great video!! It will make a fine worm for a vevor!
Great work
Great video brother I built my the same way about 10 years ago still got it today one thang that might help a lil don’t know how much it matters but run your water inlet at the bottom of the buck and the water outlet out the top heat rises take the hot or warm water off the top instead of pushing it though the hole bucket either way it will definitely work good keep on distilling brother
That is the most incredible thang I've read all night never would have thought about that.
I’m also just getting into moonshine not gonna lie I clicked on your profile and watched you Stilling playlist Not gonna lie to help thanks for keeping it public lol
Thanks Cyrus and Dave great idea! Just bought your EBook Cyrus, can't wait to read it.
Awesome
Very nice job 👍
I had this same idea as soon as I looked at my condenser pot..Five coils I thought would NEVER do..Looks like I might have good instincts for this hoby..
Did it work off the factory coil set up. I bought one and I’m hoping if I hook a pump to it continuously pulling ice water from a cooler it’ll work decent
Just ordered the parts today!
Awesome!
Nice tip. Thanks.
What a super video! Thank you! )))
Thank you. I'm really glad you like it.
Would have been nice to see what you were doing, as you were doing it.
Dave, I like your beard!
Is this made with a 10 foot section of 1/2” copper pipe? Also, are connection to buy instead of removing the original? If so what would I need to buy?
Build you 55 gallon drum I have 47 feet coil of copper 7/8 in mine I takes less water keep it cool
Does anyone ever use quick connect pipe fittings instead ?
Great job so can you use it as wood vinegar
Honestly, I don't know. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
I had just made 1 like it but can mine go down in bucket & return back up out of the bucket top?
Yes
Does it matter what type of copper tubing you use?
I guess that the middle pot is too small. Shouldn't it be half the size of the boiler?
Fill the condencer bucket full of water and put it into the freezer to freeze it up? enough cold for a long run? add some water? on top of ice to flow down the outside of the pipe to maintain water contact with the pipe as the ice melts size frozen bucket condencer to batch size taking into account standard copper tube length and diameter and bucket size to come up with the smallest practical size to fit in freezer??? never having distiled and not knowing how much ice is needed
Nice tip, thanks for sharing.
great video .. how much tubing did you use ?
20ft of copper coil was used.
@@Dave-tx8qc yeah I saw it after opening my eyes and looking again :)
Always have trouble keeping the coils perfect all way down and have liquids pooling :(
I can't get mine to stop leaking
Dude fresh water comes in the bottom and exits the top keeps from flowing over the top
what size copper tubing and length to order? thx
3/8" x 20'. There is an Amazon link in the video description.
On my side I don’t see a link to the copper pipe itself. I see the bending tool, flailing tool and step bit. Is there something specific to order?
3/8 was the id or od?
For anyone else also wondering, at the very end of the video he says "3/8 OD"
Which size Vevor still?
Be the 5 gal/20l
Can that be used to make clean safe distilled water?
Water is life. Booze not so much. LOL
Yes, for sure.
Is there a way to add.a parrot to my still
ua-cam.com/video/n8PZhiXEgTU/v-deo.html should help you out 👍
You can use a parrot with your still. You will just have to arrange how you set up your still so that the exit tube drips into the parrot.
shotgun condenser is easier to make , smaller and better looking. Those coils will tarnish up and be hard to clean. I built one of those in the 80s and had blue stuff after the 3rd run. Cheap chinese stills a bad buy.
Please show me the easier way to make a shotgun condenser.
