How to Build and Use the Amazing Plastic Still
All parts must be food grade PP or PE plastic.
 |
Wash all parts. All plastic can be washed by machine. |
 |
Put the smaller bucket (the one with the wedges cut in it) upside down in the bottom of the large bucket. |
 |
Now place the false bottom on top of the smaller bucket. |
 |
Place the 10-liter (2.6 gallons) bucket, with 8-9 (about 2 gallons) liter mash inside, on top of the second bottom inside the large 25-liter (6.604 gallons) bucket. |
 |
Put the lid on the outer bucket and tighten it. |
 |
Add fermentation lock. |
 |
Add heater and tighten the cork. Connect to electricity. A digital thermometer with the sensor placed in the mash is highly recommended.
Temperature in mash shall be set to 45ºC - 50ºC (113ºF-122ºF). |
 |
Wait some hours until you see the vaporization and condensation start.
Leave for 3-4 days, until you have 2-2.5 liters (about 2 ½ quarts) + 40% alcohol or 3 liters (about 3 quarts) 35-40% alcohol. Or collect 2 - 2.5 liters (about 2 ½ quarts) + 40% alcohol, start again and collect 1.5-2 liters (about 1 ¾ quarts) |
 |
You can also run until you have 4 liters of alcohol, and later distill this one more time to get 50-55%.
Turn off the heater and let the mixture cool some hours before collecting the alcohol. |
|
|
Purify the alcohol with activated carbon. |
|
|
When the alcohol is ready to drink, we assume no more instructions will be neded:-) |
