Yippee! Another use for my vile, extremist pressure cooker in it's off-season. Right now, it's busy canning it's little pressure cooker ass off. You can purify distill any water source into clean drinking water, and other uses as the individual may deem appropriate.

Going to bookmark that. I have a virgin pressure cooker that needs broke in anyway.
ReplyDeleteWell as a hillbilly and 20 generations of whisky makein' behind me I will say this; Making whisky is a federal crime, I would never NEVER DO it; BUT; if you make a thump keg for that boiler(look it up) you can double the strength on every run. Also if you put that bucket in the sink and run cold water in it (cooling the "worm") while you boil your mash it will stay much cooler and improve your "proof". Just be mindful of the FUSAL OIL it WILL kill you or make you go blind(look it up) But this is all just theory I'd never break a federal law----Ray
ReplyDeleteNow, Ray, I said absolutely NOTHING about moonshining. My hillbilly family from Kentucky were run out in the 30s for that Federal crime. They landed in Oklahoma and Texas, and somehow, 90% of my great-great uncle's still ended up in my grandma's shed, and is currently in safe-keeping. My family well knows the illegality of such endeavors. But thank you for you valuable input. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice, I've been looking for an easy way to distill... water. I'm just going to have to get myself a pressure cooker now.
ReplyDeleteI been pondering that idea for awhile. Hoarding alcohol for barter when the SHTF is one thing. Hoarding grain can have many benefits. The boss wants a new "canner". I think I can find a productive, non destructive use for the old one.
ReplyDeleteTeal? Damn.
ReplyDeleteTeal?!
ReplyDeleteCabinets. Terrible contrast with the oak. Srsly? Ernagerd
ReplyDeleteAw, heteros are so cute when they try to name colors. That's not teal darlin'. Not saturated enough. More gray with green tones. But the ermagerd was a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteThe beers are typing while I'm half passed out. They see teal;)
ReplyDeleteBe wary of the water you distill, it will not remove chemicals and is only good for killing bacteria etc.& removing heavy stuff such as salt.
ReplyDeleteAll of my work with distillery has been hypothetical on account of I'm dirt-broke(distilling WATER is perfectly legal!) but after the research I have done, I am partial to a reflux still.
ReplyDeleteWhich, yes, is really only good for making super pure water, whiskey(maybe) or vodka. I don't care much about the flavor, as I don't drink alcohol.(though for my friends who do, if it were legal, being able to make literally anything alcoholic would probably be a plus.)
Distilling isn't illegal, you just gotta get the federal permission slip and pay the protection fee. Many places outside of the glorious empire, it isn't regulated at all. For a very handy resource, I suggest this: http://homedistiller.org/
ReplyDeleteKyle, I think that may have been the site I sat down one evening and devoured.
ReplyDeleteMinus protection fees, New Zealand is about the only place that seems to not care. Paying protection fees defeats the entire purpose of distilling alcohol for survivalist purposes.
As of this morning 1/20/14 homedistiller.org is either closed down or being maintained. I guess Big Brother is watching after all . . . . . .
