Who To Talk To About 1000 Gallons Of Moonshine?

How much moonshine does 10 gallons of mash make?

Collection efficiency – One final note is that all of the alcohol produced during fermentation will not be collected during the run. Generally only about 85 or 90% is collected because it takes too much time and energy to get the last little bit.and it isn’t the good stuff anyway.

A 1 gallon run with a starting alcohol of 10%, a final proof of 100, and a collection efficiency of 85% will yield 2.72 cups. A 1 gallon run with a starting alcohol of 20%, a final proof of 100, and a collection efficiency of 85% will yield 5.44 cups. A 5 gallon run with a starting alcohol of 10%, a final proof of 100, and a collection efficiency of 85% will yield,85 gallons. A 5 gallon run with a starting alcohol of 20%, a final proof of 100, and a collection efficiency of 85% will yield 1.7 gallons. A 8 gallon run with a starting alcohol of 10%, a final proof of 100, and a collection efficiency of 85% will yield 0.89 gallons. A 8 gallon run with a starting alcohol of 20%, a final proof of 100, and a collection efficiency of 85% will yield 1.79 gallons. A 10 gallon run with a starting alcohol of 10%, a final proof of 100, and a collection efficiency of 85% will yield 1.7 gallons. A 10 gallon run with a starting alcohol of 20%, a final proof of 100, and a collection efficiency of 85% will yield 3.4 gallons.

Remember, it is illegal to distill alcohol without the proper permits. Kyle Brown is the owner of Clawhammer Supply, a small scale distillation and brewing equipment company which he founded in 2009. His passion is teaching people about the many uses of distillation equipment as well as how to make beer at home. When he isn’t brewing beer or writing about it, you can find him at his local gym or on the running trail.

Do you need trader role for moonshine?

Becoming A Moonshiner – Rockstar never intended players to stick to just one Role, unless you are a very dedicated roleplayer with a very specific character concept in mind. As such, the Moonshiner is the first Role which requires some progress to have been made in another Role – the Trader, in this case. When selecting the location of the Moonshiner Shack, it is easy to make a misstep since players aren’t familiar with the mechanics yet. There are a total of five locations, which are static and instanced. This means that all players have access to the same 5 locations, meaning you’ll be “sharing” the shack with other players in a geographical sense, but obviously progress itself is tracked on a player-by-player basis.

How much gold do you need to start a moonshine business?

How Much Does it Cost to Become a Moonshiner? – A lot, and that’s even by the standards of Red Dead’s famously expensive economy. Assuming you paid the standard 15 gold to become a trader, the second expense you’ll have to pay is an extra 25 gold bars to buy a Moonshine Shack from Fike and thus unlock the moonshiner role.

How long does it take to run 50 gallons of moonshine?

I am looking at building an 8 gallon still with 220 volt 5500W electric element.

1. If I run a 2″ pot still, how long does a stripping run take? What about a spirit run? If I run a 2″ Boka, how long for it to run? I know every still is different and all that but what is a general guideline? 4 hours? 16 hours? Just wondering how long it will take.
2. Also if I go to a 15 gallon with 3″ will it take about the same time? If this has been asked before, I didn’t see it in the reading section, sorry.

My experience is that my 15G keg with a 2″ pot head takes 4-5 hours for a 10 gallon strip run.

The last gallon (tails) I pushed hard and cranked up the heat! retired Posts: Joined: Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:42 am Location: Somewhere in the Ozarks by » Thu Aug 02, 2012 7:43 am Anywhere from 4 hours to 14 hours. Best thing to do is dedicate one whole day to your fist run. So you can get a feel for it. And find out what works for you.

If your trying to divide what still to build? Time is not what you should be looking at. What product you want to make with it is what you should be looking at. Novice Posts: Joined: Mon Feb 27, 2012 2:31 am Location: North Lincolnshire, U.K. by » Thu Aug 02, 2012 12:20 pm I built a simple pot still (plans available within this forum) with 1 metre liebig and ran a 6 imperial gallon all bran wash in 3.5 hours.

although i got some amazing product, honest it was fabulous, I lost out on some of the hearts. I saved all the tails for my next run in a weeks time. What I have learned is that you cannot rush things, good things come to folks that wait!

Novice Posts: Joined: Tue Apr 07, 2020 8:17 am by » Fri Jul 17, 2020 10:44 am I agree.

Just ran 10 gallon 12% wash in a 15.5 gallon pot still with 2″ copper column. Strip run took 4hrs after first drip. I heat up slower to get as much low temp crap as I can out. Will do an 8 gallon spirit run slow, fast drips. Dedicate an afternoon and set up so you can weed whack and BBQ.

Strip should be fast and dirty.15g strip takes me about 1h or so after I’m done collecting fores.

Stripping hard and fast to close to 0%ABV out of the PC. Spirit run much slower and may take 8-10hrs depending.

leaving your still unattended is a very bad idea, and a worse suggestion be water my friend Distiller Posts: Joined: Tue Feb 09, 2016 4:29 pm by » Sun Jul 19, 2020 3:51 pm I construct, load, fire and cool my stills so that they run from 2 to 12 hours.

A 60 L still with max 5 kW heating and water cooling or a small still with 8 L load with 375 W heating and air cooling. And preferably in such a manner that I can read the paper or a magazine between changing the samples. That is why I prefer cooling on air, rather than with water. And running slowly, rather than fast.

Much less risk. It takes a bit of experience and trying before you find the right way.

If i get up at 6:30 on saturday and transfer to the keg and get it heating i will turn it off at 2330 or 0000. t Novice Posts: Joined: Fri Dec 12, 2014 9:53 pm by » Thu Jul 30, 2020 11:04 am The length of time your run will take, depends on the amount of heat you’re applying and your ability to cool.

If you don’t have quite enough heat it will take much longer to run. Similarly if you are having to ramp back your heat because you’re overloading your cooling and starting to get vapor, you can also have to ramp it back. In addition, the type of still you’re running (pot vs column) will impact.

Pot can be run faster) I use pot stills personally. I also don’t have quite enough cooling, so I can’t push my equipment quite as far as it could handle. For a low wines run, it takes me about 6-7 hours including liquid transfer and post-distillation equipment clean up to run a 50 gallon batch. Spirit runs take a bit longer, 8 ish hours.

(I run those slower intentionally looking for more distinct cuts). The size of the still doesn’t seem to make much difference to the length of the run, as long as the heat input and the cooling output are kept proportional. My test 10 gallon still takes a very similar length of time to my main 80 gallon still.

I tend to collect mine at the spirit run, as I find everything separates a little more cleanly at that point. Posts: Joined: Wed Oct 21, 2015 7:58 am Location: The Milky Way by » Thu Jul 30, 2020 11:25 am I typically run very low and slow for about an hr to collect fores both on ~15gallon strip and spirit runs (pot still here) just to be sure to concentrate any that may have smeared.

First jar of heads never makes it into the cut anyway though so probably not too big of a deal but that’s how I typically collect fores. As it comes up to temp (full power) I’ll turn it way way back and collect slow drips for fores. On a strip this low/slow fores of the strip-charge also provides a protein break on the AG runs that contributes to preventing a puke.

Then ramp it up fairly quick to full power to get the strip run over and done. Some folks may only do it on one or the other strip/spirit. Hope that helps! -jonny ———— i prefer my mash shaken, not stirred ———— Novice Posts: Joined: Tue Apr 07, 2020 8:17 am by » Mon Aug 17, 2020 9:22 am Just did a slow spirit run of 9.5 gallons from 3 strip runs.

1. Took a total of 7 hrs with set up and clean up.
2. So slow on a 15 gal pot still I made it hold at 85%.
3. I do need to extend my condenser.
4. Was a corn mash.

I do need to extend my condenser. Thats not a silicone hose coming off your PC inot the jug is it?

I had to reach my table. I will be extending that condenser. I also used teflon tape instead of flour paste on that tee. Hoping to redesign that to add to.
