OKGrowin-  Do you plan to do an all-grain mash using only the corn(convert the starches to sugar), or use sugar and use the corn for flavor?   Corn is very difficult to get a good conversion.  It takes a lot of practice to do it with only marginal success.  Even with a decent conversion, I would...

Tomacco anyone  :rofl:

Get both! You can have a 55 drum to make a HUGE ferment, then do 3 stripping runs and a final slow spirit run in the milk can. I have done this to try and fill a wood barrel. You get a couple months of distilling done in a weekend!!

Fatalii are such heavy producers, they are great for a smaller garden. I had mine pump out hundreds from each plant. I thought mine were about the same heat as a devil's tounge. Definitely hotter than a hab, but not ridiculous like ghosts. They go great with eggs in the morning, and seafood too.

    Same here. 

I'm interested to see if you will notice a difference in growth compared to a regular plastic pot.

Yep, they stay under the dome until they are out.

Totally ghetto :P

OK, distilling is a no-no everywhere except for New Zealand.  There.  And if you want to take part in this fun and safe hobby I can't stress enough the importance of educating yourself, THOROUGHLY, before you ever try it.  Please, pretty please with sugar on top, please go to homedistiller.org...

I'll start a thread on how I distill my rum, but for anyone who is interested in this safe hobby please go to homedistiller.org and educate yourself.  

My wife and I made a bunch of adjustable height frames  with shop lights for cheap.  We Used PVC pipes and parachute cord.  I think they were about $20 per setup.  They work great, adjust from 1 to 36 inches.  We made 6 so we can have enough for all the plants!   Oh, edited to add:  I started my...

I just made another batch of my Navy style rum(think Pusser's) and can't hold back.  IT'S DELICIOUS!!!! Fruity, rich, heavy, buttery, and complex.  And it's not even touched wood yet!  Anyone else dabble in home distillation of fine(not rotgut "moonshine") spirits?            

Try and be more self sufficient.  And by that I mean only eat what I grew and meat that I killed, drink only what I brewed and distilled :P

I'm due East and a little North, Green Bay is my forecast. We get their weather a day later! I'd love to be at a game that cold!!!

Me too. I used 7 gallon containers and have to call BS on the air prune pots being worth the $ at that size. I compared the rootballs in the fall and the ones in regular pots weren't bound at all. They were indistinguishable between them. This year I will be using larger, 10gal+, and will...

I'm at work and can't really post pics, but I posted pics in the tech forum threads about air prune pots.  I had12 7-gallon containers with 6 in air pots, 6 in regular.  There was absolutely zero difference in appearance, size, or harvest rate.  Makes me a bit mad since the felt ones were 5-6...

Primos, and some yellow 7's for smoking!

I have a cotlydon that came up with 3 "leaves". I have seen people say to cull them because they won't produce, and have seen people have them be the star of the garden. What do you think??

man, that's like freezing a beer :tear:
