      since every other country does, they educate us in the US with the metric system

    It comes across very clearly that you are highly knowledgeable about your subject Robert. But also, the fact you have given this presentation hundreds of times and are clearly bored in having to repeat it to those who know less than you.
    I was dearly hoping to learn a lot from this video. In the beginning l was extremely interested by the way you spoke authoritatively and intelligently about the subject. You lost my attention when you tried to describe the second form of distilling when the diagram became scribbling. Description became boring. Useless for someone wanting to learn form you.
    Sorry Robert, you need need to go away and learn how to teach others your encyclopedic knowledge in a way they can understand and benefit from that which you want to impart.
    Sorry Robert, it has to said.

    There is no such thing as a magical boiling point where just the ethanol boils off. The contents in the boiler boil at whatever temperature they please to.
    Btw..these metal portions are called ferrules and the gaskets should be PTFE and NOT some sort of silicone.

      don't these people have a school that they have to go to before becoming a master distiller?

      @@danielanthony1054 Anyone can start distilling if they have a permit. A master distiller isn't a protected title like a doctor or psychologist. He's simplifying it very much. Things like a stripping run, spirit run, and cuts are to be made before one gets decent spirits. All these components he talks about are mostly undesirable. Foreshots have to be tossed away or one will get crappy booze with headache potential. There is a lot of stuff to know before one should engage in distilling. :)
      There are people who teach distilling for novices wanting to make their own spirits. Besides New Zealand, I don't know anywhere in the world it would be legal to make your own spirits without a permit and paying a sh..load of taxes. Like growing your own corn and making bread out of it it should be legal to make one's own spirit IMHO. :)

      @@kalleklp7291 maybe there shouldn't be a degree that you need for just distiller, but master distiller is like the top tier guy. The IBD for example makes you do so many exams and go through a lot of material to get a master distiller's diploma, I think there should be a set standard.
      In the wine world a lot of people in restaurants call themselves sommeliers but you can tell who actually has a WSET or CMS certification in it.

      @@danielanthony1054 Yes, exactly.
      I think I'd recognize someone calling him/herself a master distiller within the first minute of a conversation. I've been making my own spirits for quite some years now.

      @@kalleklp7291 even tour guides in distilleries should be somewhat qualified cause I've been to so many where they say: "when we reach 173 we boil all the ethanol"
      and then I have to hold myself back from asking: so if you boil all the ethanol at 173, why is it that you never see 100% on your alcohol-meter
