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.
This is why I subscribe to you! I love the knowledge you pass on, unlike a lot of people on TH-cam! Also I love the knowledge you pass on because I learn a lot from you specifically!! Keep up the videos man! Thanks from this canadian hillbilly. My gramps use to make shine with a preacher in canada just trying to learn the trade 😂
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.
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.
Hi, George Absolutely love this program. Binge watch often. I wish I found you years ago. In any event I have a beer keg and a 3ft 2" copper Colum, with a reflux built in and packed with popper. I get right at 180 just about all the time. never knew exactly why it was always so high.
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
WoW!!! I am sooo glad I found your videos George!! Thank you for enjoying teaching, it's obvious when someone has a passion for something they are teaching....people LEARN!! tytyty!!😃🌷
Hi George, Love your videos and thank you for the most informative channel! Could you do a vid or two discussing the difference in taste with different yeasts? Or does the yeast even affect the taste of the final product? I am talking about a simple sugar wash, basic vodka product. Keep up the great work!
Awesome I want to first say I don't subscribe to many people but you have definitely earned it from me. I have been doing extensive amounts of research as I'm new and want to be safe as well as produce good quality. With that said every time I search internet, forums, or TH-cam and get my info from multiple sources not just one Joe schmoe. Yet everytime I end up on one of your videos which give a complete breakdown of what is going on, how to achieve what your looking for, as well as a demonstration/example. You are my number one go to guy if I have questions. The amount of detail you put in these videos is awesome and you have helped me learn alot from watching you. And for that I thank you. Keep doing great videos!
Thank you for this video :) it has helped a lot. if you were operating in Australia I would buy my all of my products from you because of your knowledge and service to the community. Thank you George.
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!
It's hard sitting through the math and chemical inaccuracies as a chemical engineer but I also dont want to miss any critical info I dont know, but this guy has real heart and hes very good to listen to.
Great episode, I am new to this and most interested in learning more about the distilling. I would like to learn more about the forensics of making whiskey or cognac being able to match the nose and flavors of the tickler whiskey that I like. Thank you for a great Episode
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. 🤞
Awesome information George! I've watched 90% of your videos. The only ones are about the PId's. But this one taught me a lot about the equipment I have. Thank you very much for all you do! Cheers George 🍻
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."
First thing, thank you for your 35 years of service to our great country. What you are describing is what's also known as a compound reflux still. Mine is a 15 gal s s pot/ a 35 x 3 copper column, a 1" distillate exit. The marble rocks that I use for packing work really well, tones of surface area. I will be going electric pretty soon and will require your assistance. Thanks for the humor and educational videos.
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!!
Another great video George 👍 I have a 2” I run it super slow, just a fast drip at the most of time until I get to the tail.. it comes of about 150 or 160...... thanks to u. My lawnmower and tiller runs great on it,plus a little A and B clarification product add to it..
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 👍
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
Whow! Thank you so much George. I'm gonna have to make everyone I know watch a clip of this. I use a 15.5gal Sanke keg with a modular, hybrid unit on top. Typically, 18" of 2" copper, tri-clamps, to a flow through sight glass, filled with borosilicate marbles. EVERY body seems to think that was the dumbest thing they'd ever seen. "How much did ya drink before ya threw them in there?" I've been using them for years and this is the very first time that I've heard someone with any intelligence say it's a good idea. Also - it looks REALLY cool with some LEDs behind it.
@@lilymcalister1825 yes, , it is. Glad I could give ya a giggle. I could use some of that these days. Ill remember that while Im setting it up tonight.
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.
I learned a lot. Thank you. One note: You are using the calculation for the Area of a circle and not the circumference of a circle. Circumference is 2 π r.
doesnt the answer end up being the same lol...he said 3.14xR^2 for example my 4 inch column radius =2....3.14x2^2=12.56....oor your 2x3.14x2=12.56 nevermind i see that only worked out in my particular case, no wonder i didnt catch this.
Great video! Love your lessons. Your math terminology was a bit off, though. The principle you taught about the pipe having more surface area was well put forth, BUT it's good to get the formulas straight. You were talking about the CIRCUMFERENCE of the pipe (or circle). That's DIAMETER (or twice the radius) of the circle multiplied by Pi (3.14). The formula you wrote down is for the AREA of the circle (Pi multiplied by the square of the radius of the circle). Like if you took a thin slice of a salami, that would be the area. Also, that would be expressed in SQUARE inches. So, CIRCUMFERENCE of a 2" pipe : 2 x 3.14 = 6.28 inches. CIRCUMFERENCE OF A 3" pipe : 3 x 3.14 = 9.42 inches. And so on. Can't wait to watch more of your stuff, I'm learning a lot! All the best to you.
Im not really sure if i like the fact that he didn't own his mistake with this math..think about that..what else is he giving us that is not needed..expecially if he sells all this stuff to add to the distillery...lol j/k but he should have admitted he was wrong
G'day George, learnt so much from your podcasts, have not yet bought any equipment or distilled any product, I want to research as much as possible first. I'm in Western Australia so, will not call you during your sleep time.
Another great video George. Being a Pastry chef in Australia most of our ovens are in Celsius not Fahrenheit, I can to those conversions in my head. Were I get stuck is trying to convert gallons to litres. Everything here is measured in litres. We all know you love your maths, there is just something for you to think about in your next video. Thanks Craig.
Craig, I would really like to satisfy everyone with measurements but you realize that is not possible. If I did attempt to do all of this in metric and imperial measures I would convert the values before hand. This is an easy step so I would expect people to do this at home. I feel that using two different measurement systems could be more confusing than helpful. Hope you understand. George
Best explanation that I have come across by far. Your speech is clear and you explain in both complex & simple terms. Sir your efforts are greatly appreciated, well done👍😊 SUBSCRIBED

I've learned more about distillation in 36 minutes than most people learn in a lifetime! ... Thank you!
Neil Sheldon ....... he’s a great teacher isn’t he ???
George changes your learning curve from years to months....
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.

At last someone that promotes education in simple to understand language and not fluffy no context wording. Thank You George, Legend
Great video again, really glad I saw this one before buying a still!
Another fantastic video George! I learned more and more from your videos, every time I watch! Keep up the great work!
Thanks👍
The best teacher on TH-cam! Congrats from Brazil!
George, I appreciate your videos. They are easy to follow, and they take guess work out of the how's and why's.
Much gratitude!!!!!!
Thanks you destileria MASTER I finally have a good class.
Happy New Years George !!! Thanks for your service. Thanks for your videos.
Great clip. I learnt loads. Keep up the great work.

Amazing. George love your teaching
Hello George once again very informative you've outdone yourself sir
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.

Pi x r^2 = area, pi x Diameter = circumference.
True!!!
George you're a great teacher.
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."

Even if I never decided to run off a batch of whiskey I would "still" enjoy this. This guys easy to learn from.
Nice information 👍 your a great teacher!!
Best video about distilling ever watched...best of best..thank you very much, sir.
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!!
Thanks George great video as always
Wow!! awesome video George!! getting ready to get my first still. Thanks

This is pretty good . I ran cryogenic columns for 40 years. Now I can run it for fun since retiring. Let the games begin.
Thanks George. Very clear and concise as always.
Glad you liked it
Perfect explanations, I smell what you're stepping in! Lol Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much. Excellent presentation
Cool you're pretty thorough for newbies I've just learned exactly the difference a d what to do..
Very helpful...great info,love the channel
