| 1307046 | 2012-10-16 07:09:00 | Thanks Sanco, in both cases that is exactly what my new “You Beaut” :) Spreadsheet recons, although the answer is derived quite differently. :) Two formula: 1: Amount of Water = C26*((D26/E26)-1) Where C26= Litres, D26=Uncut, E26=Required or 2: Amount of Water = C30*D30/E30-C30 Where C30=Litres, D30 = Uncut, E30 = Required. Take your pick, the answer is the same. But still wondering why this old “Trailes Scale” is slightly different? :confused: |

| 1307047 | 2012-10-16 07:14:00 | That's got to be good for you :drool Consensus of opinion deems otherwise, so I hope you’re right. :lol: |

| 1307048 | 2012-10-16 07:27:00 | Bang on B.M.! So now you're ready to rock and roll. Please remember to be extremely careful with heads and tails as they can be quite damaging to your health, and if you share this with friends to them as well ;) You want to have good memories of your 'hard labour' in 5 years time ... not regrets aye! |

| 1307050 | 2012-10-16 20:11:00 | A good source of info can be found here. homedistiller.org Thanks ooh yeh. :thumbs: I’ve had a short squiz at that site and there is a load of information, with some of it contradicting what I’ve already read, :crying so I might have to guess my way through the first batch. :) But I had to laugh at THIS (homedistiller.org) from the Site. (scroll down to the photos) WTF is it? I don’t have one anyway. :lol: Might be a project for Error Guy when he gets his welder fired up? ;) Anyway, keep them “Tips & Tricks” coming. |

| 1307051 | 2012-10-17 01:40:00 | As soon as I have a functioning still I'll be brewing like crazy. Got 60kg of molasses stashed up but I can't use it :( Did a test ferment with 10L wash and it fermented nicely. Had a very low alcohol content (10% at most) but not bad for a "throw it together" type run. That car rim burner looks good, I personally prefer electric as you can control it much better (thermostats etc) and removes a flame from the vaporised alcohol mix. I heard about one still that a mate of a mate had. Was a reflux still that has for some reason, a ball + non return valve on the boiler (which was used to do beers as well) . Someone left it closed and it ruptured. Not an explosion, luckily his soldering was poor enough to let it go at about 13psi |
