Hi gang Can anyone tell me why my still is "panting"? It's a 60 liter alambic still from portugal. You can see the video here ---> I put a rag over the nozzle so that you can actually see it breathe, but you should be able to hear it as well if you turn up the volume. At the time, I was doing a stripping run. Normal? Unusual? Weird? Your thoughts. Cheers.

You're a real ray of sunshine, Scott. I'm sorry for bothering you... I didn't know this was a forum for experts only, and that anyone who has an interest in knowing more or perhaps taking their first steps in the art of distilling should fuck off and look elsewhere.

Thanks for a very detailed answer. The thing is, though, I'm looking for a much simpler answer. Not that I don't appreciate the info, it's just that, seeing as I'm not a distiller nor a brewer, I'm not very well versed in the lingo you're using, plus, english is not my first language

Thanks for the input, Sherman. Just to clarify, is that 20 bottles per day using a 100 gallon still? I'm mainly looking for someone who can fill in these blanks: A 250 gallon pot still can produce _______ gallons of ___% (____ proof) whiskey per week.

Hey gang I need your best guess or personal experience. Running a 250 gallon still 5 days a week, how much whiskey is produced? Ballpark figure.
