STILLS OF ALL TYPES, DIFFERENCES AND EFFICIENCY

This channel is designed to offer insight and background on the science, art and practice of making alcohol based products at home.

I've learned more about distillation in 36 minutes than most people learn in a lifetime! ... Thank you!

George. Doubt you’ll ever get this but if you do 🤷‍♂️. Wish you would continue with your videos. Even if you’re retired from retail. Just keep passing on your knowledge for posterity 🤷‍♂️. You’re a phenomenal teacher. I know there are others out there that attacked you. I saw it in a forum and I just for the life of me couldn’t understand the hostility. The one thing I absolutely did notice, was how the guy they “recommended” was more like a quantum physics professor 🤷‍♂️😂😂😂😂. After awhile I began to consider the idea that they didn’t want you teaching people because you support the side of simplicity. You talk and teach people in a manner that everybody can do this, kind of like cooking 🤷‍♂️. Where their idea is to turn people’s views into “this is magic” and you shouldn’t tamper with it if you aren’t educated and trained in it. This to me seems like a convenient way to eliminate any possible future competition and turn spirit making into an “elites” only trade 🤷‍♂️😈. Sorry for the rambling but I just truly hope you see this and start making videos again 😔

Hi George, I binge watched your channel for weeks and learned so much so I have to thank you for all the free education. Now I watch your video as as you post them and they are always interesting and add to my knowledge of distillation, science, tasting and new ideas. You’re a great guy to put so much effort into your channel. Thank you, Brett in Sydney, Australia.

At last someone that promotes education in simple to understand language and not fluffy no context wording. Thank You George, Legend

I like how you use common sense, math, and science to teach. Wish schools would use more real world application. You made my algebra and physics classes come together.

FYI: The equation for the circumference (C) is 2π times the radius: (C=2πR) so if R is in inches, the circumference is in inches. The cross sectional area (A) is π times the radius (R) squared: A=πR^2. If your radius is expressed in inches, your area will be in square inches. So, if you double your diameter, you double your circumference and quadruple your cross sectional area.

[woodandtable]

Thanks for the instructions!! I can’t wait to try my own. I’m a math guy- 2*pi*r= circumference (inches) and area pi*r^2 (square inches). Lolol!! Great videos!!

[nathanmachen]

I would just like to thank you George you break stuff down and explain things we understand them. And thanks for showing people that this is not a bad thing running alcohol should be something we don't have to hide and were gonna do it regardless

I’ve just found this channel!
I’m on my 6th video.
I just bought a still.
I’m doing a cleaning run tomorrow.
Then a test sugar wash mix.
Great channel.
It’s given me the knowledge and confidence.
🤞

The best teacher on Youtube! Congrats from Brazil!

[jasonmoxon]

Great video - but note pi x r2 = area of the circle (open area inside tube), you are after the circumference surface of the inside of the tube, which is pi x D.

Very very very good video. At Columbia Valley Lavender in British Columbia Canada we have just started extracting Lavender oil with our new still. Your videos are certainly helping us tweak our production

[jamesburris]

You are a great instructor George! My Grandfather drew me a diagram of a still 40 years ago. I am glad I never made one because he included a "Thumper."

[henryjames]

Cool you're pretty thorough for newbies I've just learned exactly the difference a d what to do..

[electrickflame]

Thanks, Mr.George, for teaching me a helluva lot of excellent knowledge about something I was genuinely ignorant of!

[nicocoolpants]

I love your content Sir. Of all the videos I have warched on your channel the one thing that has been missed is a video strictly to Still types, differences, and the effects on final product (IE. Flavor, purity, consistency, ease of use). Your most recent video is fairly old. However, if you were to "hypothetically" (hehehe at that reference) make another video, would you consider one involving strengths, weaknesses, ease of use, and final product differences of the varying types of stills and combination stills using different combinations.
Amazing work and thank you for setting a standard for for the distillation community.

[ReaperNZ]

amazing tutorial George, i`ve never done distilling but i`m very keen to get into it & have been searching the information you shared in this tutorial thankyou so much 👍

[shashikadulanjali]

Best video about distilling ever watched...best of best..thank you very much, sir.

[BeautifulGav]

Awesome .. "pre-condensing" .. the magic bit to make me understand .. I didn't get it before thinking the condenser water pressure did this .. I couldn't understand that and marked it down for further investigation. thanks from Aussie!

[MrROTD]

I made my first mash today and its starting to bubble, I cant wait to distill what I made later I'm enjoying it as a hobby so far. Thanks for the info I watched quite a few of your videos.
