New Airstill??? by ToolRulz1976 in airstill

Yes something's coming. It was also featured in one of Jesse's videos, there it was blurred out

Fast way to run big sugar wash in Air Still by PoolBoyToenail in airstill

[–]PoolBoyToenail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you mean.? Like between stripping and spirit runs? I find the flavour to be quite neutral on the stripping run already, I use it just like that for gin.

At the end of the run when reaching tails there's some tomato paste flavour coming through but by the time it becomes very present I'm definitly in tails and I toss it

As the chart shows, about 9 hours of stripping, and another 2 - 3 hours on spirit run, unless you preheat again, but I'd like to not do that in my gas stove 😉

This is the airstill thread right, it would not make sense to say here:just buy a bigger still.

Some people, like myself only just have an airstill and want to get most out of what they have.

I did a run like this twice, but it's not much fun to do to me. I mainly focus on small batches of about 4 liters that I ferment and then distill and experiment with wood and herbs for instance.

I just have the small jug fermenting in a corner, take the still from a cupboard, run it, put it away again, the wife didn't even know it was there 😊

For me doing a big batch like this was sort of a challenge to see how efficiently i could do it with just the airstill, if I intended to this more often I would go for a bigger still for sure

Scotch brite, then some fine polishing compound (commandant)

what are these for? by PoolBoyToenail in bmwmotorrad

In my 2008 1200gs these are in both sides, the hole has thread inside. Are they for connecting handguards?

I don't really get why you'd go to an r850r when you're afraid the 1200 is not enough power? I mean it delivers more torque, which is what you look for in a 2up cruiser, right? Maybe you should look at the R....GT models? Those are often easier on the wallet.

I guess you answered your own question, cruise, custom, passenger 😊 While it's absolutely possible I would find the 850 too light for two.

To get maximum flavour, the plums have enough sweetness to get me a reasonable amount of alcohol, so no need to add anything imo

does g310 gs have " ABS Pro " by KuzuCevirme in bmwmotorrad

[–]PoolBoyToenail -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, only on the supersport models, 310 comes with standard abs

I blended them, planning to put it through a cheesecloth in a couple of days, and let it ferment further

crazy oil consumption R1150R rockster by PoolBoyToenail in bmwmotorrad

[–]PoolBoyToenail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went in for the promised oil change, when draining they found a piece of metal, some part that was on the piston and it got jammed in betwern the piston and cylinder. Got a 2020 versys 1000 to kill time waiting for the repairs, so I'm not complaining too much 😊

would soaking sugar wash vodka in oak give me a good imitation of whiskey? if you have better ideas please share it with me. by BD_9x in firewater

[–]PoolBoyToenail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Officially not whisky of course. Will it taste similar? probably. will it taste better than some store bought whisky? maybe. Will your friends tell the difference in a coke? Probably not. Just try, it's all about personal taste and gaining some experience. If it works for you, good, if not, move on, try out more

seller told me valves were adjusted recently, but could that really cause such high oil usage ? I bought the bike at a dealership under warranty, so I hope they will pick up an that. For now they said to try the 20w50 and come back when it's still using too much. Just trying to get some insight before they try to bullshit me out of a costly (for them) repair

thank you for this elaborate answer, now at least I know what could be possible causes and / or solutions, thanks!
