Every cubic foot of his 3-bedroom house resembles Racer X's entire shop crammed into a Folger's coffee container, hence the commandeering of half my garage. He thinks eight weekends are more than sufficient for any motivated individual to do the job, provided that all the necessary materials and tools for the final assembly are on location. As the set time-frames aren't in dispute, I don't think any of this is pertinent, but if expert X says Y is the only form of reasoning that the trolls understand maybe that piece of information helps to keep this thread more focused on R&D.

A simple rule of thumb for this is to keep the first 50 mL (reflux still) you collect (per 20 L mash used), or 100-200 mL from a pot still, and use it as a substitute for race gas.
