Failing that, a more sensible option might be a C02 fire extinguisher, at last that won't blow your electrics!!!

I'm guessing a fire blanket would be as much use as a chocolate teapot

However it is not possible to say how much alcohol you can drink and run a still.
The way alcohol affects you depends on how fat you are, if you're a grumpy old git or if you've had sex within the last hour.

Alcohol affects everybody's distilling for the worse. It creates a feeling of overconfidence, makes judging heads and tails more difficult and slows your reactions so it takes longer to make cuts.

If you feel you must drink, arrange a group of distillers and choose a designated distiller.

Oh, you Bad Boy!


I figure that my stillin' is mostly sorted by numbers now.
I went to bed last night, leaving the still running and expecting nothing to appear.
And nothing did.
At 88% it just refused to allow it. No more product at my crudely set boiler input.
PID controllers, who needs 'em? :)
I do keep a large Fire Extinguisher just inside the door to the still room -
Dragging this back on topic.. :D
And not dissing Brewhunters post, stay safe!
Ventilation and Extinguishers should sort it.
If you all go and blow yourselves up, who will I tap to late at night?
