missing you a lot , loved all your videos, your travels and meetings with other moonshiners. I hope somebody can convinse you to come back, and give us some nice recipes of famous drinks, and a 2 or 3 part video of how you make it your way.
George just wanna say thank you for all the info you have shared in past yrs. Just finished my 2nd run through your beginer home distilling videos. Very very helpful. My good friend has shown me the ropes with his homeade still. This is something i have been wanting to learn for 25 yrs. Just havent til now. So ive watch everything you have put on utube atleast once. And now im on my 2nd still. A 8gal reflyx from brewhouse. Tonight i am tasting my polished spirit that is 3 different runs. Used crown chips medium. Thined out to 100 proof. And its amazing. So thank you so much for all the important steps for sucsess. information has helped. i have the basic understanding of beginning to end. So George, such a big thank you. My best friend and you have made a dream come true. God bless
Hey George, Really enjoyed watching your content as a newbie. Would love to see your thorough review on a starter still like the Vevor stills. It would greatly help us folk just getting into running.
George where you at you come back to us and now you're gone again I hope everything's okay but we got to get that saddlemen ran please give us an update at least long time friend God bless and I hope you're having a wonderful day
Hi George, I’m glad you’re back. Learned a lot from your videos on new to distilling. I had a question about yeast, any concern about urea content? Seems to be hard to find yeast nutrient without it. Thank you for your knowledge.
George you truly are the best I’ve ever seen at making something that most people would find intimidating and turning it into something even a caveman should be able to do. That’s pretty impressive… Thanks!
I designed a 3D printed housing junction pacifically for pid. Looks amazing! All the components are designed to fit into the cutouts i order from Amazon. I been using them on my autoclave and steam mushroom substrate Pasteurizer. I have 20amp and 50 amp circuit compatibility with my housing boxes
Hey 😃 George is absolutely right. Watch out for the smoke 🔥 Ones it gets out, its damn hard to catch and put back in 😁 Happy distilling and stay safe 🔌💣
George, where are you getting your 20A 120V single snap in receptacles. I've looked everywhere but where they're at. I've built two PID'S 120 and a 240. Now a digital 120V PWM. Happy Distilling 👍
George do you have a complete video on wiring a 240V Rex C100 PID. One that shows where each wire goes to what pin. Your videos on my 240 and 120 Inkbird work great 👍
We have missed you very much. Nice to have you back. I have learned to take notes on your videos, because you give us so much great information! My apologies because I do have a stupid question to ask. If you trace back the neutral wire to the panel, in the shop, it goes to exactly the same place as the ground. You explained very clearly that the neutral and ground have totally different uses, so why do they both connect to the ground bus bar in the panel. I am confused.
Hi George. I was hoping to see how you installed the sensor to your still. Do you have any suggestions on where or how to put a sensor on a 1 gallon "air still" ? Thanks
What's the chance you could do a video(s) on ramp and soak PID? Building a controller based on one is simple, understanding how it works and how to program it is a whole different bag of porcupines.
When your placing a Mini k-Type Panel mount receptacle sockets in the Project box, and running the wire from the receptacle back to the PID controller.... what kind of wire do you use? My limited understanding is you need to run "Thermocouple wire" of the same type, due to how the metal type in the wire reacts differently causing erroneous readings? Sorry for my lack of explaining that properly LOL - but some insight into this would be great.
How do I contact George with a couple of questions? I have built a PID for my still using your instructions and Inkbird parts. All new and wired to your specs. I am able to set to your specs without any problems. When I plug in the still and try to start it there is no power getting to the still. Any suggestions?
Im building one one of these i built something like this for a big aquarium years ago and wondering why no one is building something like this for a still something that takes all the guess work out of heeating your still. Thanks George
George are there any way to test an ink bird PID to see if it's bad I replaced mine everything's working fine with a different one I figure it's bad but I was wondering if there was any way to test them it was working fine and then just up and quit I like your videos always have watched you for years happy distilling
Hey George, Could I put ssr-va and a potentiometer behind the pid ssr-da? I have a 3500 watt element and when it gets to temp i want it to dial it back to around 1500 watts. Is this doable?
Hello George. Good to see you back again. I have a question that may seem a bit basic but I need Thesome input from you. First I am OLD. I am a late bloomer in distilling and have a great time doing so. Here is my question. I have a DigiBoil 240V unit. As you probably know, the unit has it's own temperature control. In my opinion, hjt is not the best setup. I have made a PID using your video and information provided. I have read several different articles about how some have added a PID controler to their Brewzilla and Digiboil and made mods to bypass the controler in the unit. Why not just turn up the internal control unit very high and let the PID do the work? Is that logical thinking or am I missing something. Missing something is entirely possible as this old 80 something brain doesn't do the job like it used to do. Any information you could provide would be appriciated.Thank Again, good to see you back.
These are great, thanks for doing this. I cannot find the power distribution blocks. When i search amazon all that seems to come up are busbars for automotive applications. Maybe these would work but they are more expensive and a bit different. If you or someone could post a link that would be great!
I have a question. I just got don’t making my very first run. I used 1 gallon of apple juice and 3 gallons of water. Ph was 5.00. As soon as it was done fermenting I put it in the still and heated it up to 200 degrees and lowers the heat a little, now my moonshine taste like burnt rubber, why does it taste like that and what should I do so that it won’t happen again?
Hi. Do you sell the still with the 2 inch tube and with a gin basket. I can't find one on the internet. I would like a 30 liter . Not electrical. Thank you so much. I'm 71 and you explain so I can understand. God bless
I Wired a INKBIRD IDT-E2RH to my pid set up its working. But I can't Decipher The user manual. Do you have any suggestions or possible know how to program it? .INKBIRD IDT-E2RH
for a car to electricity comparison - voltage would be torque. horse power would be power, in watts. amps would be the speed, since at constant horsepower speed increases and torque decreases. the same as constant electrical power and increasing amps with lower voltage.
Your example is backwards, the water analogy is pressure is simpler to voltage, it is a representation of potential to do work. It also can be represented by the height of water, the higher it is the more pressure exists, again similar to increasing voltage. The rate of flow is equivalent to amperage, the number of molecules of water moving past a given point is similar to electrons moving past a given point in a circuit. Resistance is the hardest to make with this analogy, we pinch off the flow of water by blocking a tube, a mechanical switch is similar to this but a resistor or heater element does not stop the flow, it consumes it by turning it into heat.
Years ago, George starts getting way into pid’s, no one cares. Videos drop off. Comes back, makes great stuff, goes back to pid videos. no one cares, videos drop off.
I can't tell you enough, George, how happy I am to see you back!
missing you a lot , loved all your videos, your travels and meetings with other moonshiners. I hope somebody can convinse you to come back, and give us some nice recipes of famous drinks, and a 2 or 3 part video of how you make it your way.
I gotta tell ya..I'm building a powder coating oven and this tutorial is clearer than anything I could find within our community so thanx for that!
I'm rewiring a pottery kiln to a PID and two SSRs. Your video helped me a ton, thank you.

I have been wanting to see your video more and they stopped for a little bit and or slowed down but I really enjoyed learning from you.
Hope all is well with you and your family,,,,missing your wonderful and educational channel
Hey George, Really enjoyed watching your content as a newbie. Would love to see your thorough review on a starter still like the Vevor stills. It would greatly help us folk just getting into running.
George where you at you come back to us and now you're gone again I hope everything's okay but we got to get that saddlemen ran please give us an update at least long time friend God bless and I hope you're having a wonderful day
I enjoy your videos. Thank you for everything.
God Bless You George. I hope your doing well

Hey 😃 George is absolutely right. Watch out for the smoke 🔥 Ones it gets out, its damn hard to catch and put back in 😁 Happy distilling and stay safe 🔌💣
Good job. Very helpful.
BEST explanation on the net George! Could you add a second element to this ?
George, where are you getting your 20A 120V single snap in receptacles. I've looked everywhere but where they're at.
I've built two PID'S 120 and a 240. Now a digital 120V PWM. Happy Distilling 👍
Hey George big fan here. Hope all is well waiting to see how the saddlemans cut turned out.
That intro George, hook us up. Its the best
George do you have a complete video on wiring a 240V Rex C100 PID. One that shows where each wire goes to what pin. Your videos on my 240 and 120 Inkbird work great 👍
Where'd he go? Not again!
MORE VIDEOS!!! Please.
Outstanding Sir!
Ok. How can you work in a limit switch (lid/door) switch on a 3 wire? There’s just not a ton on the inkbird 40a and switches. Really love the videos.
George, I hope all is well!!? Just wanted to let you know your content is enjoyed!!
Hope you are well George. Cheers from Scotland.

Awesome stuff George.
George I love the videos. What about the power switch?
It been a long time, is George ok?
George can you tell me more about the computer that measures abv and how it knows when to make cuts

Is the whole thermocouple waterproof or just the very end of it with the nut?

Big news from Texas concerning home distillation
So how about a video or PID controller on your mile high reflux still? Is it possible to get reflux balanced with PID controller?

Try "Terminal Block" with an Amperage rating. (20A Terminal Block)
Please tell me someome how i can get in touch with george? I need his expertise on a batch of cider ive made
Are you still building pid boxes ?
George I need your expertise! The PID is not showing me proper numbers on the temp. readout. Help
Do i need 10 AWG for the wires to power the PID controller?
I have a question. I just got don’t making my very first run. I used 1 gallon of apple juice and 3 gallons of water. Ph was 5.00.

How would you set up a Pid for heat treating oven with temps going over 2000f? Tnx
I was given 5 gallons of honey and I want to use it with cold smoked wheat to Make some whiskey, any pointers or recipes that would fit this bill ?
George, can you or a viewer please tell me how to obtain the proof and tralles app you mentioned on a video 3yrs ago. Appreciate anyone's response.
Love to see it
I Wired a INKBIRD IDT-E2RH to my pid set up its working. But I can't Decipher The user manual. Do you have any suggestions or possible know how to program it? .INKBIRD IDT-E2RH
Was hoping you had a mead video, a quick search pulled nothing up. So... how about that for a video?
How do i get a hold l would to buy one

June 7th, 2024 West Virginia will start being able to do home distilling finally ..
Hi George Are you available via email to ask a question or two please?Pierre
Đorđe je ponovo nestao, nažalost.
Your example is backwards, the water analogy is pressure is simpler to voltage, it is a representation of potential to do work. It also can be represented by the height of water, the higher it is the more pressure exists, again similar to increasing voltage.

Resistance is the hardest to make with this analogy, we pinch off the flow of water by blocking a tube, a mechanical switch is similar to this but a resistor or heater element does not stop the flow, it consumes it by turning it into heat.
It's crazy to me that the workings of electricity are still a theory.
George, Can you do one on a P W M please, Pretty please.
I think he already did a video on one
Years ago, George starts getting way into pid’s, no one cares. Videos drop off. Comes back, makes great stuff, goes back to pid videos. no one cares, videos drop off.
More on using PIDs for distilling?🤦♂️
I care. If you have heard what you want. You are free to go. There is no charge for not watching.
I wasn't lying about what I wrote its just people get upset when I write these things. Ya, Believe in JESUS, HE can save a moonshiner.
Yep yep.. Universal rules.
P = I x E
E = I x R
