I've used this refractometer for sugarwashes before. It is an alcohol ref. 0-80% abv. yes i calibrate it. it also has atc. I typically use it to monitor my progress trough a run, to know when to stop distilling.

here's the thing: my current wash im running is 3.5kg sugar, 700g store bought grain products for flavor. thats for 20 liter. At the very end [of my stripping run] im getting a reading of 25-30% and i know by taste that it doesnt have any more than 4% abv at most.

could it be fusel oils in late tails of my stripping run?

[EDIT]

I am a machinist, and last time i really welded was 2 years ago, all plates were same thickness, and i had access to a 3000€ MIG. Now things are different.

I dont have my own welder, My friend has some kind of budget fluxcore welder he's used for welding cars.

I need to weld a stainless steel triclamp ferrule to a stainless steel lid, the lid is approx 0.5mm thick and the wall thickness of the triclamp ferrule is 2mm. I have designed this so that there wont be much stress on the joint, mainly because of the lid thickness.

Im thinking of buying some 0.5 plate and 2mm walled pipe, aswell as some fluxcore wire made for stainless, just to get the hang of it. Do you people have tips for this? I could only really find a couple videos of plates 1.5-4mm being welded together.

if it comes down to it im willing to buy myself a welding machine, but my budget is maybe 300€, since its just an occasional weld for hobbies. I dont know much about welders, but I imagine that budget is very low, too... I don't want to have this done by someone else, I want the experience of doing it myself. I want to learn, and I have always found that overcoming difficulties with hands on experience is the best way.

Ofc it *should* be done with tig, but sometimes we make do with what we have, live and learn.

Kahesti tilannu ässän robolla ruokaa kipeenä viimeksi useita kuukausia sitten, jolloin lukituksen avattua puhelimella robotti alkoi soittamaan glass animalsia.

Tällä kertaa tuli se ässän liikenneturva mainos tunnari.

Soiko näissä aina musat kaikialla vai onko meiän ässän joku oma juttu?

Ite en tykkää että amis tason äånenvoimakkuudella ottaa huomion koko naapurustosta.
