Reply With QuoteAs a lad I made a still from the mater's large pressure cooker - nicely pre-tapped and ready for copper pressure fittings. Did the 1/4" copper cooling coil inside a 3# coffee can (in at the bottom, out at the top). Had the cooling can in the kitchen sink with cold water running into it. You want to keep the still temp below 212 to try and vaporise a minimum of water (190 would be nice). Found that really crappy homemade grape wine made an excellent and tasty base brew, good for anesthetizing one's mouth. Tough to swallow as it tended to be absorbed in the mouth instantly. Later, in the Navy, I tried a sprouted grain mash - didn't care for the flavour. Figure the hillbillies are more skilled or less discerning than me. Fun project, may be less likely to generate a visit from Johnny Law than having a grow room or building automatic weapons. OTH, doesn't impress girls, and unless you drink a lot buying good booze is cheaper and easier.
