So put up a youtube video and post the link ?? Now I need to learn to post YouTube video :think:

Is there anyway I can get into trouble putting a VIDEO on YouTube?? Scared of getting in trouble ?? Or there bigger fish to fry??

Probably no issue :pray:

Dont use ya real name to post it :D

Your worried about Feds watching YouTube but you don’t think they are watching us here???
Smile for the camera :laughing-rolling: Your phone has one as does your laptop and tablet.
Roll of foil to isle nine please

:laughing-rolling: yeah just double checking haha I put up a Video now

Here's the video

Very nice :clap:

Bit of a upgrade on the fementer airlock I also put a bulkhead fitting and valve at the bottom for emptying and a little brew pump for filling the boiler :handgestures-thumbupleft: :music-deathmetal:

I fixed the video for you, looks much better like this :-B

Thanks mate still getting a hang of it all

Help!!! Why did my copper turn this color ?? I think it's the reason it taste different

Im not sure of the science behind it but is it because it's doing it's job? The heat also contributes. I find mine get blacker closer to the boiler. I soak in a bucket with lemon juice, vinegar and salt overnight and rinse with clean water afterwards. They never come out shiny new but at least i know their clean.

Looks normal to me , citric from Woolies will clean it up

Its removing Sulphides in the wash. Means the copper is doing its job :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I think I didn't clean them good enough to start with and that's after one run but I am now giving them a good clean in a citric acid bath for a few hrs and already look heaps better

So running the pot head and running Mac rum and on my second stripping run(2nd generation) and smells so good after this should have enough low wines to do a spirt run I have all the stubbies line up ready for cuts :happy-partydance:

Question: would these rum bottles with cork tops be good for aging?? Also wil I put so rum chips in there ??

Dominoes from 5star or off cuts from cooperage are better..as is a wide mouth vessel. Cork can be benificial, as it allows breathing just make sure its natural not re-constituted cork which has glue wich can break down in ethanol vapour :handgestures-thumbupleft: still love that boiler :D

:text-+1: on that slick lookin boiler!
I tend to age all my stuff in 4.5ltr glass flaggons (think thats the correct name). They are the older style ones with the large opening and can be found on gumtree from time to time. The newer $10-$15 ones you buy now have a lot smaller opening which oak can get stuck in once wet and swallen if your not carefull.

Ikea do these bad boys

For $20.

Wide mouth, all glass, silicon and stainless steel. Silicon is the good stuff too, no filler.

If you're not near an Ikea there's also Ikea online.

Cheers guys I have a look into it and I also got 5L demijohn to use as well and what percent do i age it ?? 70% for angel share
