I was all moon eyed on this because I tried to do this and the threads didn't match. Glad to see I'm not crazy because it's like 31/32 of an inch on one end and a different thread form.
I have a half dozen giant SS flasks I wanted to do something interesting with but there really isn't anything out there to mate to it.
Absolutely hate plumbing.
@@SyBernot Yeah, when the first keg was a fail and the second keg arrived but wasn't perfect, took me a second to calm down and make it work. I basically treated it like a press fit and rely on the ptfe tape and flour paste as the real seal.
Hi glad to see you're good bearded... Id like to see you hypothetically test a invert sugar wash into a sweet tea (flavor your choices i used peach tea) instant "aged" "whisky" ... Not a true aging just technically a colored new make
Bearded & bored have you tried a hypothetical mango brandy with no sugar if not that might be a good idea to try for a vid
Nice way to bend copper tubing fill it with sand caps both the end of the pipe then bend it.
It works with water to if you freeze it outside only cap one end with water for the pipe to not burst
Ayyyyeeeee he's back!!
Literally running your banana rum wash right now, bloody thing keeps wanting to scorch on me. Looks like I'll be here a while, running it real slow haha
Finally😜
I heard he lost a bet and had to shave his beard.... Hence the pause of videos until it grew back out.
Ok, so....... my whole life there has been a little bottle in my parents liquor cabinet that my father swears was made by his neighbor in the 60's and the claim was the liquor was made from grass clippings after mowing the lawn.
Have you ever heard of someone else or tried making a mash from grass clippings?
I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work, avoiding the dog pee ect would b a pain I guess. Lol
Haha I legit just said the same thing when I seen this!
YES! We have missed you, so good you are back. Now lets hope George will find the strength to re-entry the YT-scen. Would love to see you, George and Jessie co-lab again.
Yeah, hope he comes back.
Thank you for taking time for 'us'...missing you.
im a hypathetical plumber and you taught me quite a few things. absolutley love the educational sessions keep on keeping on
Glad you're back. Here's my tip for everyone soldering, Clean and handle your copper while wearing nitrile gloves, it will keep the oil of your fingers off of your copper, and that is a good thing
Great tip!
Glad to see your back. Hope the new job ain’t killing you to much.
You're. Yes it bothers me that much. You're still a good person.
Thanks man!
@@BeardedBored I just have to ask. What was that you were running through the little beast at the end of you video
Glad to see you.. love and blessings to all..
Hell yes! Upload when you can... we'll watch them.
Thanks brother
Yes we missed you
We missed you so much!!!!!!
Tin the pipes with solder.
Wipe most off.
Insert pipe into fitting.
heat pipe down from join
Watch join for solder flowing
Old school method but it works
Where were you 2 weeks ago, hahah! Thanks!
@@BeardedBored do you have a discord?
If so, I can answer random questions like this on there!
I’ve also made random chemistry comments on your other videos (and Jessie’s/ brewbirds etc)
Never know when you need a chemist!
(Amongst my other myriad of other skills 😋)
@@BeardedBored if you don’t have a discord I’ll happily set one up for you and surrender ownership to you… (can I be an admin if I do? 😋)
Super Cool to have you back.
Good to see you uncle, have missed you!
Well look who's back, good to see ya mate
"Hypothetically" great to see you back mate 🥳

Ol boy was right your back!
Glad you're back and looking to those great video's and laughs.
Cheers
Happy to see that you're back!
Nice to have you back
Thanks brother!
DO NOT use solder with lead in it to build this. Use Silver solder. The Lead will leach out into the distillate for you to drink if you use plumbing solder..
Glad to have you back!
Is normal lead free plumber's solder made for soldering hot water pipes not suitable?
(Im not a pro, i thought there was only two types, electronics and lead free plumbing solder)
Great to see you back!!!!
Glad to see you back
He' s back!
Welcome Bro .. i so excited for see you bro again ..
Bearded - get a pot just big enough to fit your keg into and fill around it with oil (canola, or whatever) - BOOM! Now you have an oil-jacketed mini still that won't ever scorch.
Great idea!!!
He’s baaaaaaaaaaack.
Finally:-)
Cheers Jessie. I brew beer so these safety net vids make sense to me. I'd love to keep seeing them pop up occasionally. Knowing a little on how to scale things is helpful - I want to make as much as possible in one go but it's always a balance for time - mashing, fermenting and distilling - So knowing how I can scale to smaller batches for one run helps.
Beatifull "coffee" maker, and it makes all the fun noises, it's prefect!
Makes strong coffee:-)
Glad you're back
Grand to have ya back fella!!!
Thanks brother
Glad to see the ferry back 😂
Hey buddy glad to see you back!!!
This is the first of your videos i have seen. I love the content.
Thanks so much 👍
happy to see you are still around... and wish you could show us from start to end the "hypothetical" process.... am interested in seeing that... not doing it, but leaning for sure.
cheers.
I'll be going in to detail on doing the cuts on this one.
Great to see you back
Good to see you back!
NIce to see you again Mr Bearded !!!
Thanks 😊
good to see you back
Glad to see you back.
YEA!!!! glad you throwing out a video mate! 🙂👍🏻, love your content & hope you adjusting to a job without adoring fans 🤣, no seriously .. so happy to see you on here again😁👍🏻
Great to see you back and with an awesome"hyperthetical" project . Take care and stay safe, Mike
Thanks!
Good to see ya back love from 🇦🇺
Hey glad to see ya back to TH-cam
Its because of you Bearded that I'm making a potcheen next week
Nice! Good luck on it👍
Great to see you back mate.
What a comeback!
Thanks!
Now that is awesome.
Welcome back! Missed your channel.
My God, you came back. Mr Willson was left all alone to cover for you. But he defended your position quite diplomatically. Great to see you. Like that mini still. I'm looking at making a mini continuous still just for fun. Made disill a few bottles of scotch at a time. Thanks for the video.
A mini continuous still sounds cool!
Cool video on how to make a mini still. Hypothetically could you ferment ground cinnamon and get the flavor to come through, or would you need to use a spice pot to get the flavor to come through…that might be a fun one to try with a small keg like that.
You could use a neutral spirit and infuse it, then rerun it. Kind of like gin.
I looking forward to a video where you use that thing!
Glad your back
Yes! Pipe bending springs are cheap and they WILL make your work easier. An alternative is a plumbers bender which of course costs more but it's essentially a "forever tool".
Good to see you back mate
Happy to see you back man!!
Glad you back ! Cheers
mate so good to see you back geat Job and vid i hope George is ok as well miss his videos keep them coming Bro
I'm glad your back!!!
Thanks!
Welcome back.
I was in heating and air conditioning for 30 years. Folks, if you're hesitating because you're worried about kinking 3/8 or 1/4 inch soft copper, don't be. If you can kink soft copper that small, you're talented. Just do what he said and use something to wrap it around as a form and it will come out perfectly. Easy peazy.
Welcome back! Surely missed 💪🏻
Sigh and all is right in the world again 😊👍
welcome back big fella
Me miss you yeaaaah!!!1 lets rock it 🤩
Good to have you back man. You and Still It keep my spirits high while I'm overseas
Glad to help keep your "spirits" up;-)
I have missed the "hypothetical" material glad you're back! Stainless to copper really is a bear to solder together.... but you know that.
Yeah steel and copper are very reluctant friends;-)
Nice, welcome back.
Your Back! Hell yeah!
Haha, thanks man!
Welcome back !
Welcome back !!!!
Broer welcome back, this is a beautiful mini still, can wait to see it "run".
Hypothetically…
Thanks Broer!
Good to see u. Good u doing real life too!
great to see you back - cool idea
So great that you have returned. Your TH-cam community loves and appreciates your content, you're channel is truly amazing!
Thank you so much!
Welcome back - missed ya
yes! welcome back mate, great upload!
Welcome back dude. Good to see you... and a still build, niiice.
Hey, thanks!
Great to see new content!!!
Glad to see you back man!
Welcome back ✌
Welcome back!😎🤙
i think the mini still kit would be a cool tester for mash made with different boxes of cereal from the super market
Exactly the kind of thing I had in mind:-)
@@BeardedBored that is a really good idea to have, I have been hypothetically in the hobby for about 4 years now and in the middle of figuring out a new DIY 1/2 barrel beer keg design for the new season here in Pennsylvania, I wanna try to make a reflux still but all i have even run is pot stills.
Awesome to see you back! I just followed your instructions on building a condenser yesterday. I was a bit shocked at the price of copper as I hadnt bought any lately but your write up was spot on. Thanks !
Glad it helped:-)
