I recently watched your channel for some of the sound videos and realized I had to watched this one as it aligned with the evolution of my 20+ year beer/wine hobby. Last year I thought I would try my hand at distillation. Living in a hot climate the tap wasn't an option for condensing. I didn't want to mess with bags of ice. One day while drawing a glass of beverage from a keg I saw the solution right in front of me! My solution was slightly different as I used a six gallon bucket of water in my chest freezer. it was nearly solid ice and held for a full run.
i love the way your videos always start at the beginning. what i mean by that is you give context, which makes it very easy to follow and understand the significance of the subject. this makes even the topics i might not be particularly interested in feel relevant and it is impossible to click away, so i am almost tricked into learning something new and broadening my horizons while being entertained. great job! you well deserve the success you're having.

Specifically, what can be added to it to have it output air that is not just a specific temperature and humidity, but purified and oxygen-enriched, as well. (The last two aren't as important in the countryside, but in cities where our homes actually contain air that is *more* polluted than outside air, being able to *FULLY* (re)condition our air without spending a small fortune would keep us a *lot* healthier.) Activated carbon on the final output seems to be how 'normies' do it, but what about bubbling the incoming air through oxygen-producing algae that would feed on any organic particles the air contained, both acting as a pre-filter *AND* adding precious oxygen?

There is a story about Tallulah Bankhead when she was older and was doing live theater. A younger actress sniped at Bankhead that she was too old for the part and that she could upstage her any time. Bankhead, in her signature husky voice said, "Daaahling, I can upstage you without even being on the stage." At the end of her next scene, Bankhead placed a Champaign glass that she was holding partly over the edge of a table and exited the scene. She ended up ruining the young actress' next scene as the audience was transfixed by the Champaign glass that sat precariously balanced on the edge of the table, waiting for it to fall. It was later discovered that Bankhead had placed a strip of clear tape on the base of the Champaign glass to keep it in place, barely balanced on the edge of the table.

Beautifully explained sir. Just the right amount of science and just the right amount of practicality. You are a natural born teacher.
Awesome video! When distilling in my moms basement many years ago, we used to draw a slow siphon from the frozen over swimming pool in the back yard to our homemade copper crossflow condenser. This let us have repeatable settings and results all winter. Then, in the warmer months, we would fill a large ice chest with water and several large bags of ice, with an aquarium pump very similarly to your setup. Every video you make, I think of how you're exactly the kind of person I'd be, had I chose a bit more lucrative of a career. haha. Most of your videos are things I've done by making my own kit, or things I want to or plan to do, but currently don't have the resources to accomplish. But the innate plan every time, is to do it all myself from scratch. I can only imagine the excitement and knowledge your kids have gained from you and your endeavors. You make me want to be a more involved parent and have inspired me to involve my (step)kids in more of my hobbies and experimentation.

Mr. Heron You Sir are a good teacher, today is the first time I see your videos. My motivation is in building a fine multi reflux distillery by hand give or take some accidental features I'm sure. I love this kind of science and building. Listening to you was easy to comprehend, focus, and a pleasant learning experience. I mean that. Look forward to seeing other videos. I am unemployed and have time to squeeze in a project. I loved building stoves for the homeless with usually whatever is laying around, with key concepts of "fire while under radar" so no visual or unnecessary attention, no smoke, and with ability to burn all combustible trash. Usually through rocket stove types, because it was easier to control the 'Heat and 'fuel, whereas the oxygen intake was usually towards the bottom at a small point where a vacuum and feeding took place. No smoke, meant it was safer, kept our fellow brethren's coffee hot, I can go on and on with fire and stoves, waste oil burners using a brake disk and a standing long column, a stove that charges your phone, no smoke it creates just enough of a vaccum inside the burning chamber with many holes toward the bottom inner wall and a second layer for second combustion towards the top, secret was to create a vaccum to spin this fan at a small opening of thee outer shell of a double wall that spinned a rod with attached magnets aligned in opposites that turned inside sets of copper wire with the same amount of turns on a separate opposed turn of copper wire, in short a brushless mini motor connected to a power bank. I digress thank you for a rejuvenated motivation, the cost per sale is a little suprising but I believe it. I would love to show you towards a end result for your great insight someday, your right freezer flex seal, Clever.
I wish I found you sooner. It's amazing how you make these concepts so easy to understand. So yes please more distillery videos would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

I just discovered your channel...Just brilliant, extremely professional, competent, informative, with very detailed explanations....10/10...the topic choice as well is great...compliments, great job!
I very much enjoyed this video. I intend to go back thru previous videos and will be looking forward to those to come. Thank you!
I don't drink alcohol at all, but I learned SO much from this. Y'all make every subject interesting, and you make it seem like I could do that too. Where was this channel when I was 30 years younger?! Cheers from West Georgia!
I've been into homebrewing since the '90s, and have looked into distillation a bit. I can't say I learned a *lot* from this video, but I did learn a good bit, and overall just really enjoyed watching such a clear explanation of the process. The narrator did an outstanding job here, and the cameraman was also quite good. The feds are still making it hard for people to distill beverages at home, but still manufacturers are happy to produce home-sized stills for use in other products, like "essential oils". Kind of like how head shops would sell very small pipes, but labeled them as being for tobacco use only. That Brewhaus unit is a beaut.

Unbelievably enjoyable to listen to you. It's a shame most teachers don't have your incredible teaching skills. Thank you for keeping my world interesting. Hope it makes you happy also.

@@davidbass6084 FYI, I *think* you meant that as a message to Tech Ingredients, rather than to me. Unless, of course, you actually were one of my students. But as huge as my ego is, it seems unlikely that anyone who was would be so complimentary about my teaching.
I love the math behind this!! Also, your communication of ideas is impeccable, as always 😊
Love your videos! My Dad passed away not too long ago and watching you reminds me of him. Thank you for all the entertainment!
This is how people learn. I wish I could afford to pay this man or some one similar to personally teach / tutor my children five days a week. What a wonderful education experience that would be.

There are privately owned trade schools. I actually work at one. It's only for a specific trade, but the method of teaching and transferring knowledge has allowed us to focus what would typically be a 6 month college course into a 4 day seminar environment and test for competency on the last day. I explained that not as a shameless plug, but because with some slight modification to dynamics and planning, we really could develop a much more feasible education system that starts at the base and builds a foundation, and then stacks upon that foundation with subsequent courses. The real trick is to determine what relegates the specific path a student should take after the basic general education topics. That should also be modified to incorporate the important stuff and omit the stuff that is literally useless and wastes time.
Awesome presentation, super professional and explained so it's not hard to understand. It never ceases to amaze me how much innovation there is in fields like this and others, building up over decades and centuries, that most people have no idea about. Great stuff and thanks.

did u used to drive an honda s2K?
probably the best educational distilling video I've ever seen. Kudos.
Thank you, sir, for your highly simplified tutorials. They are invaluable ! Following your tutorials, I have now learned how to make banana brandy. Lots of questions to come, yet, once I start with the practicals. Yay !!!
LOL.. perfect subject for all of us closed to our quarters these days! "na zdrowie!"
That thumbnail is absolute class. Having a cheeky sip.
What a wonderful explanation. Absolutely a person that knows what his doing. Thank you
Excellent single driver (with a whizzer cone) transmission line speaker in the background...top notch DIY speaker build! Also, excellent explanations. Answered some questions I've had for a long time.
This guy is so much like me; He loves jet engines, loves home audio, loves physics and tech. You are awesome man, keep rocking on!
Placing a refractometer on the condensate outlet stream will allow you to monitor in realtime exact component ratio more reliably and quickly :)

You will have to dilute the condensate with water to use the refractometer since you can't measure over ~80 %. In reality, you can't accurately measure over 60%, so dilute 50/50 with distilled water.

Yes, you could use a LED for this. The blue ones should refract more than red.
Blown away. Best video I have seen. I feel I have a good understanding and ready to have my first go at this.
Wow! Excellent exposition, explanation and working examples all in one video. I now understand reflux distillation. Not many can instruct and educate this effectively.
Presentation presentation presentation. I've been to 3 different colleges, and you put them all to shame, even combined.

all i can say is i wish i had a science teacher like you when i was in high school! I always had problems staying focused in science classes but you keep my attention 100% you make science fun by explaining every detail with relevance and brevity. and ya do it with real world applications. For a old hands on man like myself its the perfect way to learn and discover the sciences. Just fantastic Thanks old mate!

Excellent instructional video! Thanks. This is an example of how it should be. It proves I wasted many hours seeing other "youtubers", who most of the time are telling BS about things they do not understand, without even realizing it...
wow! I was thinking "geez, that's probably close to $10k..." *looks at wesbite* $1500???!??!?!! I'll take 8!!!!!

Make sure to get a permit. You can make fuel with a TSP but can't drink it. You need a DSP to be able to drink it. If you get neither you can pretty much just purify water.
