Distilling Apple Pie
Anal Probe Deluxe
Regular
I have been thinking about perhaps making my own shine from apples. The recipe for this type calls for an initial fermentation and distillation, yielding a product which is then mixed 50/50 with apple juice and distilled again. The product is then aged and can be considered "Apple Pie."
Also, I wanted to do the whole process minus the aging with borosilicate glass and was hoping to make a custom still from all g on g parts.
Here's the boiling flask I wanted with 24/40
And here's the fractional distillation head (said the offer 24/40)
Other than a condenser, is there anything I really need for ethanol?
And if this is in the wrong forum, I beg your pardon and wish that you move where appropriate.

I've had it before. Let me assure you it is. It is THE smoothest and sweetest blend I've ever tried. In fact at first I didn't even know it was liquor. That's why I want to make it.
Also, does this Leibig Condenser look good?
Yeah that should work.
Im interested in hearing the results as well. If it goes well I'm making this stuff. I've made Absinthe moonshine and sugar wine so depending on how the apple moonshine goes Ill try it out and post the results.
Flavor. The key is to carry as much as one can through the process. By distilling it twice, one captures the fermented alchol with the flavinoids. The second process merely adds more flavor to the final product with no breakdown by the yeast. This is not my recipe; this was told to me by my father's friend who learned it from the maker in Virginia I believe. This recipe is a good old Southern tradition.
EDIT: Also, the dude "said" the kit was new only missing the parts, but I think I noticed a smudge on the three neck boiling flask. How should I clean this? There was some glue looking stuff on the bottom. Would some and a good glassware brush do the trick or do I need solvents?
Yay!!!
Link to Gallery here.
All I lack at this point are are hot plate (which I might be able to bum from my school) and the Ellijay apples. Also, as one may see, the separatory funnel was not included.
EDIT: Also, yes, my waterbed is attached to the floor.
Bettar, yo?
EDIT: Also, methanol is only produced when particular methanol-producing bacteria contaminate a mash batch. No baker's or brewer's yeast, nor any member of Saccharomyces produces methanol as a byproduct of fermentation. So keep your cultures clean and it's all kosher. The only difference between bake's and brewer's yeasts are their tolerance towards their own piss concentration; they are usually the same species (depends on the manufacturer/culturer).

EDIT: Guess not.
Try image shack. The pics still fail for me.
The gallery link works and one can view them, but I wanted to see if I could get it to display directly on this page. there should also be a pic in this post.
You should use that thing as a bong when your done.
I think my three neck 100 ml boiling flask would do better as I could have someone blow a 24/40 downstem and just use the distillation head as a chamber. I would use a glass stopper on the trid neck as a carb, too. So that pic works?
It still fails. I had to visit the link.
Oh well. Thanks for the info and I'm also thinking about making some everclear as well so I don't have to pay $15.00/750 ml. bottle.
Damn, that's cheap as fuck. Are you talking the 150 proof or the 195 proof?
190 proof Everclear made in St. Louis, Missouri by Luxco. There's some sitting on a shelf in my room right now. I want to dehydrate it and make it into chloral and then chloral hydrate.
Goddamn! That's still cheap as fuck. 190proof is banned in Florida, anyways. :rolleyes:
