Finished a small trial run of gin today.

Shady's Sugar Shine Wash stripped, then a second distillation run and brought back to 43%. Very nice wash by the way. I then infused 2 700ml of the wash...

Something for nothing chaps.

Copper bits that see lower temperatures than the column. Clean them up real good, wipe with a clean lint free cloth and spray with clear lacquer. This keeps them shiny...

Searcher I do not use temperature as the control variable for a still. An azeotrope has a mind of it own and the boiling point of the mixture moves during the course of the run as you well know.

I...

Copper removes sulphur and other nasties and is a very good antibacterial metal.

Glass is good and it is used but rather fragile.

Condensers take the alcohol vapour and reduce that back to a...

Did you get a 15mm 90degree into that fitting?

Nice.

As an alternative, Irish Soda Bread. This is my go to bread for braai and hunts.

I use only white flour for mine and buy Eureka Stone Ground Flour....

Great news. Lets see the end product when done.

Or make your own, I see you are at the coast so stainless steel would be my option.

Get someone to laser cut and bend you some of these. Dimensions to suit you, 2mm thickness should suffice. You...

Some configurations. The I can still add a thumper, have my choice of condensers etc.

So curiously why a 4" and not a 2". I have a funnel to feed the kettle.

What are the advantages of a sight glass over a blanking plate?

Toxxyc,

you may want to seriously consider making you still modular at this point. This will make your life much easier later on if you wanted to expand your distilling.

I started with the goal...

I should have taken the photo with less clutter in the background.

I though you mentioned some of your distillate tasted "dry"?

So much more efficient, for cleaning as well. If you have a 30l keh with 100l wash trust me it is a great thing to have.

Yesterday I bought a 4" Ferrule but am undecided on if I will fit it to my 30l keg. Firstly my forearm does not go all the way through for cleaning and secondly I only actually need a 2" port for...

On a previous quote. "Dry" products are normally a result of too little sugar. On dry white wine they arrest the fermentation process to stop the sugars developing fully. Dry is actually another term...

You have to be very vigilant with gas. Very slight breezes can easily blow the flame out. Fit a mirror or something so that you can always view if there is flame.

Went a couple of years ago and the food was out of this world. Is the food still good though?

Indeed I do. I have a EFS 17-55mm and the EFS 18-55. So the 18-55 is superfluous to my needs.

It has a Kenko UV filter bolted on and both lens caps.
Stabiliser
AF/MF
Perfect condition.
Note...

Lemmie check.

Been to Cubata's?

Tralies falls on the tongue easier than metal railings.

What nice memories, I had one in Karoi in Zimbabwe while in military service, it was mine prepared so the extra weight from the plates removed most the effect of the suspension. It looked as if the...

Very much so, they are heavy which means the PVC wall is thick.

I have just bought 4 fenders from a Cape Town operation. These were the cheapest I could find by a long shot and they are perfect at R 250ea plus shipping. Nice soft PVC that you can inflate to your...

Second one is a White-browed Sparrow-Weaver.

Brimstone Canary on the first one?

I'll chip in with its brother.

Borrowed my mates 2.4 Fortuner 4X2 A/T. Towed a boat with mass of circa 1 000kg, so in the slipstream, up from Durban North to Alberton. Whatever the speed limit was...

That is a very good deal IMO.

Die oppervlakte van the 4 blade is meer so n 17" pitch 4 blade sal drop teenoor n 17" pitch 3 blade. Ek sal skat dat n 15" pitch blade omtrent die selfde sal wees as n 17" 3 blade.

Ek vermoed dat...

Ek dink die beste is om vir hulle te bel.

My mening is dat n 15" 4 lem prop sal werk.

Jy kyk in die verkeerde plekke.

4 blade prop 15 (dogfishmarine.co.za) OK so it is not SS but at R 1950, and add another R 950 for the prop hub kit this may well be worth your while.

I have just noticed that in the early days it was called a 2.4, and the 2.8 was the GD-6. Did not realise that the 2.4 is also now a GD-6.

So when I said that my GD-6 had paddles it referred to...

My GD6 had paddles?

Or simpler still use the paddles.

We will agree to differ here, at low speed more refined. Highway driving and towing they are a lot of work. My 2.8 barely raised a sweat on undulating open roads, my 4.0l I have to constantly put my...
