My Alabama Farm Life
Description
https://www.youtube.com/c/MyAlabamaFarmL...
Living my best life in West Central Alabama - Zone 8a. My husband and I retired with the dream of living and working the family farm. I lost my husband and best friend in April 2020 but I keep the dream alive working the land and rebuilding the farm.
I am raising chickens, rabbits and learning how to grow in the Alabama red clay. I am hoping to inspire others and maybe learn from my failures and success. Watch me while I repair old out buildings, learn to operate a tractor, forage, hunt, garden and get through life in one piece one day at a time.

You have the condenser hoses reversed the cooling water exits from the top. This is a common error for new still runners.

Hey, a friend gave me a still like this. I had the same issue with the worm. The condenser container is too small. An easy fix is to get a 5 gl bucket and 20 feet of 3/8 copper tubing. You can use the fittings that came with your condenser. You will have to flare the new copper tubing with a flare tool. This will solve the overflow problem.

Very cool thank you for sharing! I want to learn to make moonshine. I donβt drink but I do make tinctures and would like to be able to make my own moonshine to make it rather than relying on store bought vodka. Thanks for sharing!

That's a heck of a project to make distilled water. That's a nice little still.

The wobble during boil is pretty common on thin bottomed pots. It's a whole mess of physics to explain it, but if you can find a thicker bottom pot the same size as your original, that should take care of it. OR you can reduce the heat and run it slower. Also, as pointed out, put your cooling water in on the bottom fitting, the water will form a temp gradient with it working from warmer at the top to where the steam comes in and cooler at the bottom and give you a better rate of condensing. and gravity will pretty much keep your water level from going wonky even with the valves full open.

You've inspired me to pull out my VEVOR acquired 6 months ago, & do a test run / still break-in water run., like you did.

I have the 5 gallon. To stop the rocking. I put 2 gallons of whatever im putting in the pot next on top of it. It does 2 things. Stops the rocking and it warms next batch up so it takes less time to get going again.

Hi Kathleen. Awesome little gadget. You're a patient woman. Sorry it gave you so many problems at first. I loved your choice of music for this. I felt like I was out in the backwoods holler somewhere lol. Thanks for sharing
