How to Make a Homemade Distillery

I liked the fact that your video was fast paced so it didn't induce yawns and simple enough to understand the very first time I watched it.

Hey Bryan, I like your video because you get straight to the point and explain what you did in a straightforward way. So many people on YouTube waffle on and on, but you just get on with it, which is what I and other viewers are looking for, so big thanks!

I wish every video on YouTube was made this way. no long as intro video, no talking bullshit, no repeating shit, no long pauses. just informative speak, thanks mate.

Yup that's about it. My setup is almost identical. Only difference is use a plastic jug as an ice mold that drops inside my condenser. That way I don't have to keep buying ice. I keep several in my drop freezer and when they melt I swap them out. Place the frozen jug of water inside your coil and top off with water. I also use an electric hot plate for my boiler for safety instead of an open flame. When I distill my sugar washes using a turbo yeast my first runs can be 150 proof which is dangerous around a flame. I love this stuff!

You did a fine job. I have been making alcohol and wine for some years and I think you did a fine DIY build. Congratulations

This was the fastest easiest to understand explanation and tutorial for this I have ever seen. I think I will give it a try, thank you!

Thanks for not making this more difficult than it had to be. Very down to earth, thanks, good job.

Thank you for sharing, by far the best video out there on building a still.

This was so helpful! Smart! I've been doing quite a bit of research & watching a bunch of videos. This seemed to have the best amalgamation of all the different designs I've seen! Thanks man. Nice job!

One of the better videos I have seen. Absolutely the most informative.

Just learning this kind of stuff for off grid living. This was my first ever lesson on it and I'm sure I can make this work. Time to learning about the actual distilling process now. Thanks and this was a great video!

Thanks for sharing. It is a ton of still out there on YouTube and I think I learn something from all of them. Some are simple still and some or more complexed, but over all I think all I have ever seen even the simple stills I have learnt a lot by watching them all. I enjoy watching them all and I thank you for sharing your build video. I have learnt so much from you and other on this matter. I remember years ago seeing the yahoo commercial where they guy ask the dolphin how he learnt how to talk and he said Yaaahoooo. I think Youtube could have a commercial just like that, because there is so much information out there where people want to share their information and I just want to say thanks for sharing your information it was very informative. Thanks

To give you a tip on filtering, you only want to filter after you let the mash set for how ever many days you are doing it, then it is best to use for your first strain to get all the big bits out is use a calender or bowl shaped strainer, then you can get a filter for straining cooking oil to get all the fine bits out, run it through that 2 or 3X, then you will be able to distill it better... Also to pour it into the water bottle to ferment try using a funnel, they are not that expensive... Also you can just freeze water in a small drinking water bottle, place a few in the 5 gal bucket and replace as they melt, it will keep the condensing water cold so it will condense faster   Sorry if I sounded rude... all in all it was a very good video...

Great video. Love the start to finish explanation of what is for what and that mobile cart is awesome. Great idea and I'm going to try make one for my garage also.

Thanks for the bare bones, down to earth video. I learned more from you than the guys that do this for a living. Awesome job!!

Great video Bryan... I wasn't expecting it to be as good a it was. Very informative and real. Great run though of the gear needed. Pretty creative with the boiler cover from the bowl.

10 years and we need more of this fella

Thanks Bryan - Nice Video, Great Info. Also I appreciate the down to earth approach.

Hands down the best video for this topic. Very well put together , easy to understand. Thanks for making this!

Thanks for this great vid. I have watched several but yours is plane and simple. Something I need.:)
