/diy/ - Do It Yourself

It lowers the boiling point. I'm wanting to get going with induction cooktop for brewing indoors so this would work nice with the keg in a hot water bath and the shitty 1.8kw I can throw at it. I could be wrong because I'm shit at chemistry but I believe it works the same as your pot and reflux stills, it's just done under vacuum. I'd do it like a pot still and just add thumpers as I see fit. Maybe even add on a manifold at the worm so it's easier to switch collection vessels and make cuts.

There are some crazy people out there. I guess if I had to choose I'd rather an implosion and alcohol to liquid everywhere than explosion and alcohol to fire everywhere. Both said it sounded like a cannon going off. I can't even imagine what 29inHg must be like, that had to be a because I can shits and giggle thing. Condensing would be a bitch.

Pic related is reinforced keg. It got me wondering how much harder it would be to just make my own keg from scratch using sheet metal and a couple bowls at the ends. Then I could use something less retarded than 19/32" - 8 for fittings. With triclamp flange on top it could attach a proper still head on the thing.
