In The Shed Today

[Puk]

I just use egg shell. Saturday mornin bacon and eggs, keep the shells.

D you crush them up, dry them or just throw them in the wash?

[BigRig]

Just rinse the egg off them and throw them in as is.

By the end of the ferment you will only be left wit the soft membrane floating on the top.

I use 1 egg per fermenter

ran 45L of feints today, was not expecting the return, I ditched the first few litres and the rest is 93%
ended up turning it off so I will play again tomorrow[attachment=0]IMG_1738.JPG[/attachment

First spirit run in over 12months, feels good to be back on the horse. Muscle memory with the bubbler, solid run netted 42 cuts jars from 46L stripped tpw / tffv blend.

This TIG shit is harder than it looks .
My first (semi) successful weld. Not enough gas

[Maxxx]

Does anyone want 1/2 price treacle.
I have about 20 x 10 litre drums - Manildra brand
Tried a 50/50 mix with blackstrap and treacle and not rummy enough for me
( sadly Bundy has ruined me)
Will go back to 100% molasses to fill my barrels
Think they were on sale at $42 when I got them but if anyone wants to pay me $20 each they can be yours :D

[The Stig]

It would be a better idea to drop this in the for sale section Maxxx and add a location

[Wellsy]

Getting the low wines stocks back up for when the cooler weather comes.
running 180 litres of bwko wash so will be doing 4x 45 litre stripping runs.

It gets really easy after about 10 years!

[The Stig]

That’s encouraging :laughing-rolling:

Eh Stig consider tig welding to be like all grain beer brewing :laughing-rolling: everything has to be spotless cleaned for both :handgestures-thumbupleft: one really has to anal about just how how clean the surface to be tigged is and once the tip engages the surface and sticks time to grind a new tip :angry-banghead:

The best way to learn mate is grab some 2" SS pipe and cut each end so they sit smick( no gaps ) then when you strike the arc and get your whirlpool going as you move around go back and forwards as you weld :handgestures-thumbupleft: now when you finish you will more than likely find a pin hole :angry-banghead: so thats the next trick to learn to avoid the said pin hole.

Once you have that down pat time to learn purge welding where both sides are welded with only doing one side. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Come on mate practice and good at this tig welding or we will have to start calling you Wellsy's love child :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Been chasing some molly for a good price, ended up finding some only three Ks away for 92c a kilo

[bluc]

I like the way you do things :twisted:

Come on Bryan it is not my fault I know my limitations :laughing-rolling:

I leanrt a long time ago that watched a skilled person doing something that they made looking easy did not mean that it would be necessarily easy when i tried to do it. One day i might even learn to drive a manual car :laughing-rolling:

Damm Harold you do like to go all in dont you lol.

Just knocked up a carbon filter holder

[Wellsy]

Nice Gear mate.

No 3 phase here so very limted in how big I can go.

It does look nice :)

[The Stig]

You don’t need 3 phase to run a 200L boiler

[RuddyCrazy]

Wellsy ya dork just go gas mate then the size of of boiler has no limit :laughing-rolling: as if it's heating too slow just stick another burner under it :laughing-rolling:

but I do understand running gas does need something between the ears so best to sit with single phase.....
