How to Make A Moonshine Still - Time-Lapse
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Copper stills also have a storied history in the United States. The phrase "moonshine still" doesn't refer to what the stills are meant to distill. It's actually just the term used to describe a small copper still. And these types of stills are actually multi-purpose - they can be used to distill water, essential oils, fuel alcohol, spirits, and yes, with the proper permits and safety precautions, moonshine.
In this video I make moonshine still in under 3 minutes. I'm using a copper still kit by Clawhammer Supply: www.clawhammer...
The actual real-time process only took me about 2.5 hours. If you're experienced metal-worker, expect to finish in about the same amount of time (if not less!). If you've never built anything like this, it's very doable but will likely take longer.
Note: distilling alcohol is illegal without a federal fuel alcohol or distilled spirit plant permit as well as relevant state permits. Our distillation equipment is designed for legal uses only and the information in this video is for educational purposes only.
I would like to point out your air filters are color coded p100's, (particulate 99.9%,) and not for chemical fumes like solder smoke. Awesome video, thank you.
Great video. Although I can't help but notice it strange that your company is called clawhammer and most of your music features 3 finger "Scruggs style" banjo. (How is that for nitpicking? No pun intended). Seriously though... this makes me want to buy some copper sheets and some lead free solder. Although I am sure I will change my mind when I price out the copper sheets.
World Guinness record for fastest still construction
Lol. Also Your website helps the diy hooch maker ty
Glad to know that it takes only 3 minutes to make a still. I think I'm ready...
I would love to build one of these from scratch, but copper aint cheap.
@@AXL4LIFE229 but you could do cold sodering in stainless steel?
Why do they use copper?
Become a plumber ;) that's what I did.
Kinda wish you did a commentary on this one like you did for your 1 gallon video...
SOLDER ? What an amateur.. back in the ol days we used copper rivets. Great video. Thanks
i'll look into the technique, steam engines sure had rivets, so why not stills, steam engines run far higher pressure too.
what thickness of copper sheet are you using for that?
Love the music! Who is it? Video is fast, but fun to watch to see your flow/rhythm.
A tip: watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
Work of art there
What's the spray bottle on the left use use after soldering ?? thx cheers from France
Fantastic build...
Sick skills, homie.
I can’t for the life of me find the video on “how to distill” that is mentioned at the end of this video. Can someone please post a link?
do you have any other videos that are slower and shows how you hammer your seams to get a tight seal before you solder.thanks

you're really fast! :) nice build by the way
What kind of copper pipes can I use? Normal ones?
we're do u buy these supply's to build a still I have been looking around and I don't no what size thickness's of copper I we'll need can anyone tell me
We sell the kits on our site: www.clawhammersupply.com/
You can also source sheet copper locally but it is often less expensive to buy the kit from us with the pre-cut parts.
I don't think tig would work on copper. Maybe if you're building a stainless steel pot then you can tig that but copper is too soft
You can TIG weld about everything that leads electricity. Copper works great...
I have some old copper that is stained and has some verdi gris. Is it safe to use for a still?
Thanks!
Yeah, you absolutely need to clean it first!
where do y'all buy the copper sheeting?
Sheet metal supply warehouse. Most cities have em. Ask an HVAC worker where theybget their materials from. Or better yet, ask him to build it for ya.
I had to slow it down to half speed and even then it was still fast.
wow, 20 seconds of that music is like being tortured
man thanks for getting back with me on that I appreciate it
a tip: watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Matthew Isaias Definitely, been using flixzone} for years myself =)
@Matthew Isaias Yup, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :)
@Matthew Isaias yup, been using flixzone} for since december myself :)
You soldered everything shut! How are you supposed to put anything in there? How do you clean it?
The boiler is not soldered to the condenser: www.clawhammersupply.com/blogs/moonshine-still-blog/14266957-how-to-make-flour-paste-for-distilling
What are you using that requires a mask.
Looks to be some form of plumbing solder, which contains rosin. The burning of rosin releases fumes that'll increase the risk of cancer if inhaled in large amounts.
Jasonhb07 only if you’re a pussy
@@biguprochester lol
How match mani ?
Nice! Would like to make the same one, but 2,5 gal.
Get a jar then.
Any new beer brew videos coming out? I'm starting to have withdraws.
Wrapping up a short video now. Check back later today!
Every one knows someone who makes shine😉
Nice but isn't a diy video
that do you use to join the parts?
Lead free plumbing solder. Also, make sure to use water soluble flux.
thanks

Я уж решил, что он все из листа собирать будет...
Song name?
Sandstorm by Darude
The music is crap..! Anyway..you made yourself a nice potstill. Looks really nice.. The Liebig condensor may be a bit on the small side.
why is all in usa make them i copper..?
+Tony Nelson Copper has a much better thermal conductivity than stainless steel so will require less heating to reach the temperatures you need and also provides a more even spread of heating. With stainless steel you will experience 'heat spots', much like your typical cooking pan! Also copper tends to help bind sulfites (i.e. sulphur-based compounds) which can be an attractive feature for a brewer.
You will also find that traditional distillers such as those in the Scotch Whisky industry tend to distill in copper stills as a way of following tradition! In the past the only main metals of choice were either copper or iron for their stills - obviously Iron was not a feasible option so copper was chosen.
+Tony Nelson copper give the shine a better taste.
swc64844 that's cuz like Harry said sulphur binds to copper taking it out of the moonshine
how much of a pain in tje ass is that to clean? my god
The trick is to do the initial "clean" with fine grit sand paper. Use flexible sanding blocks. That is, unless you want to polish it. Then use a chemical cleaner first. However, it's very difficult to keep these shiny if they're actually used. So, best to lightly sand out of the gate. Makes cleaning it up a breeze.
how the hell are you supposed to follow this step by step. oh well.
You need to move very quickly. Like, extremely fast.
why call it "How to make" when you do not show anything usable? lame!

Time laps way too fast.. 👎
