Nybörjare med spiralis blir erfaren kolonnspiralbrännare

[Lullen]

Konstigt att du tycker att foreshoten luktar godare! Med en kolonn blir koncentrationen bättre vilket bör leda till en starkare(äckligare) lukt. Men men kul att du är nöjd och sen ska vi se hur länge du klarar dig på denna maskin

Kommer du att klara 3 månader?

[BatMan]

my mistake, the foreshot was as always: acetone. what i meant to say was the heads smelled less that previous. the body im into now is quite ok so far. im trying to make a few candy shots of 95% which havent been carbon cleaned. we will see how that one turns out. come tonight and i will taste the 95% with no carbon cleaning and see how bad it is.

how long this machine will do me? not long i would say, the building is too much fun! i only used the coil still three times before i added the cloumn. so with that rate i will be upgrading soon again.

the first liter of body smells nice and keeps 95,5% so im delighted with that. i got another 25L of mash to boil as soon as this one finishes.

Kul att det blev ett lyckat projekt, grattis... skål

so far so good. cheers and bottoms up!

[Lawbreakingtrucker]

Cheers mate I'm drinking some of my "column-spirit" -with pear-cider
Glad to hear Your shed survived the night -maybe that dimmer is "one of the best" on the market

[BatMan]

that the dimmer (and me) survived is against all odds and science. nonetheless, we are still here, going strong. im sure i bought and paid for a 1kW dimmer, thats what the box said. that its working might be temporary, a 2kW dimmer is on the way.

i am stilling for the week end now, i might have scoop or two.. just opened a freezing cold bud. sun is shining, what more can i ask for?

BTW, mr.stillton, thanks for suggesting adding the column, it was a sound piece of advice. cheers!

skåål BatMan..
förövrigt borde du starta en ny tråd.. ditt topic speglar inte alls vad du sysslar med nu

låt gärna din produkt stå och lufta ett par dagar utan kork innan du avgör smak och lukt. jag vet inte den exakta vetenskapliga förklaringen till detta, men det gör stor skillnad. särskilt med apparater som inte har luftning ovanför refluxkylaren (som alla typiska CM), vilket kan ge en viss förklaring..

jättebra om din dimmer håller. vill du säkerställa att den håller i fortsättningen, så ta isär den och hitta triacen (som är väldigt varm nu) och sätt på en större kylfläns.

förövrigt sätter jag en dunk prima hembränt på att du byggt en VM-E-ARC innan julsnapsen ska konsumeras

i am very afraid you could be correct..again..

[Lawbreakingtrucker]

That depends on what Your budget says... I would but the finances did not agree with me...
It's fucking expencives to built the E-ARC...

[BatMan]

What kinda money are we talking here? A rough estimate will do. Just in case i choose to down that road.

[trippp]

Några tusenlappar, minst.

[BatMan]

just tried my first grogg with column coil manufactured ethanol. product is 95,5% and have not been carbon filtered. i must admit it is not a culinary experience by any means. it taste ok-ish, not great. drinkable only really if i would be very thirsty.

i conclude that this product must be diluted and carbon cleaned.

i dont think i have achieved neutral azeotropic ethanol by any standards. it probably takes a bit of practice? it is my understanding that with the rig i have, it is possible to produce neutral azeotropic ethanol.

the quest continues...

BTW, as mr.stillton suggested, i better start a new thread now that i have upgraded my equipment. since it is a column with coil, would the correct forum be "spiralis" or "kolonn"?? it fits both..or neither?

..grogg down the sink and opening up a cold beer instead.. .

[Lawbreakingtrucker]

Did You remember to dilute it with water (to about 40%) before You made Your grogg???

[BatMan]

no. i intentionally made it with 95,5%, i wanted to use as little ethanol as possible. it was a failure. it didnt taste good. the thing is i like to make a grogg with alcohol with high %age.

if i dilute 30ml of 95% with 30ml of water i get 60ml, which defeats my purpose. i cant explain it, i just prefer to use as little and as strong ethanol as possible.

the still is going fantastic in the shed, its giving one drop per second without any need to adjust the dimmer. i put it down to the insulation and perhaps the column.

Det är inte ett dugg konstigt. Om du blandar din grogg på starkare sprit kommer virket att spädas ut mindre. Groggen kommer alltså att smaka mer av groggvirket, vilket oftast är en bra sak.

Det är fortfarande en spiralbrännare så jag tror det skall vara i den avdelningen, men blir inte fel i andra avdelningen heller egentligen då det i princip är en luftkyld CM.

För att förenkla bytte jag rubriken på tråden så kanske diskusionen kan fortsätta i samma tråd?
(Jag byter tillbaka om du hellre vill skapa ny tråd.)
