= Noisebrige Distilled = == About == This page gives people some info about the art of building, maintaining, and/or operating a still...as well as some other associated things. == Fermenting == A lot of stuff in a still is fermented. We've been keeping [[fermentation logs]] of stuff we've brewed in the space and then distilled. If you are new to this whole thing, the logs are a good place to start for some guidance on how to run some of your own brews. == The Equipment == === Still Components === A pot, and a condenser :). Optionally, a reflux column. Some [[Noise Extraction and Brewing]] equipment is available in the space, and could potentially be used to accomplish some of this. === Materials === * '''Glass''' is awesome for teaching and for beginners, but has crappy thermal properties. * '''Copper''' with integrated heating coils is the choice of many pro distillers, but it is a real bear to keep clean, and reacts very badly to acids and bases. == Resources == === Table of Boiling Points === * Methyl Acetate = 56.9C [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_acetate] * Methanol = 64.7C [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol] * Ethyl Acetate = 77.1C [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_acetate] * Ethanol = 78C [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol] * 1-Propanol = 97.1C [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propan-1-ol] * Acetic Acid = 118C (though this and other acids can react to form esters!) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_Acid] === Incredibly Useful Graphs === * '''[[Media:Distillation t graph.png|Vapor Phase composition vs. Distillate Temperature]]''' - for EtOH / Water * '''[[Media:distilling_efficiency.png|Vapor Phase composition vs. Pot Composition]]''' - assists in determining efficient reflux ratios when operating a reflux still (EtOH / Water) === Other Neato Stuff === * '''[[Media:proof_table.pdf|Proofing table]]''' - relates specific gravity of a liquid to its US Proof value. * '''[[Media:ind_solvents_etoh.pdf|Industrial Data for Ethanol]]''' - otherwise known as everything you could have ever possibly asked about the solvent ethanol, in a 47 page document. == Legality == Owning and operation of a still is legal in California as given by part 23367 of the ABC code. Full unabridged (read: annoying) text of the 2010 ABC code can be found here: [http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=bpc&group=23001-24000&file=23355-23405.3] Note: Still laws vary state to state, so check to make sure you aren't breaking any laws!
