Okay. I'll try to pay attention. If you notice it popping up anywhere. Please let me know. I owe you.

Tedious but just run through the listings, or you might find other weird shit too.

I tried making moonshine once. You know how like... you build something maybe more gooder than it needed to be? Well I got all into sketches and pipe and flux and solder and what came out wasn't moonshine, it was fucking ethanol that would blow the wheels of Captain's camaro. We lit a spoon and the flame was clear with small explosions. We tasted some and couldn't feel our tongues for an hour, from a dropper.
I sometimes over-engineer things.

Like already posted, my first gut fwel was heads and tails and you already said nope not that.

What was the base for your mash?

Everclear costs 20 bucks a fifth. I want my equivalent cost effectively if I can make it from something I can grow. So that means I have to grow a high sugar/high starch and I have to handle the equipment, and I've never distilled anything in my life.

Other than nitrous oxide, but that's way different.

So anyway, I'm looking into the possibility of building a still and going down that path and grabbing bags of sugar and starting from there. But if I'm going to turn it into ethanol I would not be happy.

Wait a second. Brain fart. I want ethanol. I was thinking methanol. What the hell's wrong with high proof alcohol? I'm pretty sure that when the distilleries make it, they have to do all types of adjustments to get to their exact desired alcohol percentage. I want to use it for cleaning fluid, thc extracts, and fuel. I'll dilute it to drink it too.

Any further info on how it ended up like that?

Yeah, build two stills into one and two heat sources and two base pots. I used sugar molasses rum starter, but it's a still, virtually anything with ethanol in it works. Get Gallons of the worst wine possible even. Really doesn't make a difference when you're taking every flavor out. Temps matter 100%, so slam that vapor temperature as hard as you can. Use dry ice. Your water jacket should be vertical coils 2 per foot inside another water jacket.

A quick update

 

[imgrowing]

just read an article about how kids today are suffering so bad from being bullied. i'm an old fuck, so here's some advice to any of you young members here.
if somebody is picking on you constant, punch the fucker square in the nose as hard as you can. with luck you'll break their nose and they'll crawl away. if not, you'll get a beating but the fucker will never pick on you again.
been there done that

Looking all kinds of shmick up in the bunker Capn

Yo @Captspaulding, hug the root brother!

Story time...

Way back in my early 20's, I lived in an upstairs apartment in a party house in New Smyrna Beach FL. Kip & Danny lived downstairs. Party downstairs almost every night... Big keg parties, in the whole house and front yard every weekend. (We all worked together at a Truss Plant.)

We all used to go to the drive on beach frequently. Kip had a 4-5 year old adorable, pure blond headed son, who was an absolute babe magnet. One day we were on the beach with a homemade water balloon launcher, way before they were a thing. That sucker took 3 people to launch, with a good wind, you could launch them 100+ yards...

So one day, we were up to our shenanigans at the beach. M.O. was to fire off a balloon, usually at people walking away from us, then hunker back down, before they saw who did it. People close around us, would see the whole thing and be laughing their asses off along with us.

So we bury Kip's son in the sand, good enuf that he couldn't get out on his own. After awhile he was wanting to get out and asked for help, Kip said "nope, we're going to just leave you there". Without hesitation, in the cutest accent he says: "fine, I'll just stay here for the rest of my life and get runned over by cars!"

About this same time, someone launched a balloon at these people parked 75yrds down the beach, and it was a perfect shot that hit their very nice pickup, right below the open passenger side window. They just happened to see us do it and a very pretty girl, prolly early 20's, came stomping over, bitching at us. At the end of her diatribe, she said "well, what do you have to say for yourselves?" Kip's son, buried in the sand, opens one eye and in an accent like Spanky he says: "Ahh lady, HUG THE ROOT!"

We were all laughing so hard, we were pissing ourselves, the pissed off girl as well. When she realized what it meant, she stopped laughing and turned 3 shades of red, shook her head and stormed back down the beach without saying anything else.... We got a visit from the cops about 20 minutes later... lmao

The cops were very cool and asked how we managed to toss a water balloon that far? We showed them our contraption and asked if they wanted to try it. The younger one said yes, so we demonstrated how to use it. It was very tricky to get a good launch, without the balloon disintegrating instantly. We picked a direction where nobody was (just happened to be into the wind ) and he let one rip... Of course, it disintegrated on launch and 100% of it blew back on him, like he'd been pissing in the wind.

He wasn't fazed a bit and was laughing his ass off. He told us not to be launching balloons at people or vehicles any more, or he would have to ticket us for littering. When he asked if we understood, still laughing under his breath. before any one could say anything, Kip's boy (now un-burried), kicks the sand and once again says : "Ahh, hug the root"

This once again sent us all into fits of laughter... good times indeed

"Hug the root" will be etched into my mind for eternity...

Here's what my roommate used (the vevor). For rum, a 5gal bucket of black strap molasses is relatively inexpensive. You can use potatoes, beets, fruits, or almost any grain. I forget what grains he used though...

Blink twice and you’ve missed 3 pages mate she’s 24/7 on this thread due to different time zones shits hectic

 

[SlingShot]

yeah, I see that, and the 'no slackers' remark, count yourself free of that insinuation, I'm assuming no one knows enough to care but I'll scroll through the notifications just in case, also, Melb march was a great day out until highjacked, still, there to be counted
Edit: caught up I guess, down under root is our number one word choice for farky time but I've never heard of 'hug a root', it's even entered into the urban slang dictionary, and awesome tale of mischief and water balloons, and the memes, my face hurts from laughing

Um did you just call me a slacker yea Fkn Thomas Sewell got it all fkd up man nazi asshole he is I get the march but last I looked we all come from immigrants unless your indigenous but I get it charity starts at home type shit cost of living n people struggling with a housing crisis as it is without having to fight for a house with 200 others free range for Palestinian protesters but we can’t I get it just won’t change anything and I think if your a valuable member of society I couldn’t give a fuck where ya come from

word for word how I feel, and since mentioned, so I'm clear, and I understand different countries, different people, different circumstances, that's fine, but I love each new arrival here, just not the immediate and predicted numbers for reasons you outlined, I am peace, love and empathy but I worry.
