@Tech Ingredients Is your still heated directly or indirectly? I have a big one that is directly heated and my father always insisted that we would need indirect heating for distilling whisky or vodka, so the wash doesn't stick to it.

@williamarmstrong7199

5 жыл бұрын

@@GrimFaceHunter so long as you are using a clean clear wash with no bits of barley or corn in it or appreciable amounts of yeast. Direct is the same as indirect. The time to use indirect is when you are distilling rough mash / wash that has been brewed with the corn or barley still in the wash, or if you cannot get the mash to clear so you have a lot of suspended yeast. That is choice of yeast of course. Some will remain in the mash for weeks and require fining or filtering to clear before you can run the wash through your still. The end result will be far superior if you have a clear wash to distill. If you are fermenting with the barley / corn still in (AKA moonshine) you will have a very high level of methanol because the yeast will eat the cellulose as well as the sugar. But instead of making ethanol (drinking alcohol) it make the highly poisonous Methanol! So if doing that then stabilise your still for a long time at the Methanol boiling point to remove the "heads" fully before increasing the temp to pull off your ethanol. I hope this helps?

Thank you once again, imagine how productive and capable the world would be if ALL our school teachers where as good of a teacher as you. So cool

As always, love your content. Being an all grain brewer, I have the following comments: 1. No need to boil the water prior to mashing. 90 min is not long enough to grow much contaminating organisms , so just bring up to 160 and dump the grain. There is an online calculator for brew in a bag to set the grain to water ratio and target starting temperature. 2. Think about adding a little gypsum to the water prior to mashing to increase the calcium concentration. This will help buffer the pH and improve the conversion process. Especially if you have very soft water like I do in Oregon. 3. After the 90 min conversion is complete and the grain has been drained and rinsed, you really should bring the resulting wort to a boil for at least 10-20 minutes to kill off any remaining offending organisms and knock out some of the protein. This will result in a cleaner fermentation. 4. You used volume measurements for the sugar and yeast, but measuring by weight might be easier. 5. Distilling alcohol for personal consumption is not currently legal in any of the 50 states without a distilled spirits permit (by federal law and difficult to get). You can get a fuel permit fairly easily but it does not allow for drinking the product. So beware of the risk to yourself and your property. There is a reason moonshine is made out in the woods on other peoples property.

I don’t even care how amazing this channel is, that property is more amazing.

Funny you should mention speakers. Looking at that view reminded me of a time I spent on holiday on Orca's Island. Our neighbour there, a retired NASA man, had a music room that had a view window that looked out over the bay, this view reminded me of that view. His speakers were especially made for him in France, the speaker wires were as thick as your thumb and were suspended from special brackets so that they didn't pick up any vibrations from the ground. The room had one chair and to sit in it, look out across the bay and listen to records was fantastic. That would have been fifteen years ago. I suppose at this stage he has passed on.

Great video. I had questions coming from my home brewing experience, but you answered them almost immediately. Looking forward to seeing the second video!

I've lived in Milwaukee my entire life and I know the exact smell you are talking about! When I was a child, there was a brewery somewhere in the Menominee valley, and any time we were on I-94 near 27th street you could smell that smell. I don't think that brewery is still there, because I haven't smelled that smell in a while now that you mention it! A very distinct smell!

But I take delight in the juice of the barley And courtin' pretty fair maids in the mornin' bright and early There's whiskey in the jar!

As far as I know if the concentration of ethyl alcohol is only a few percent it is not enough to act as antiseptic, plus the solution may get infected by bacteria which digest ethyl alcohol into vinegar (that kind of infestation may happen even in higher concentrations of alcohol - for example in a production process of strong wine). So it's good to keep everything clean. 😉 Thanks for the video!
