Polished Rocket

So my new to me 86 C-10 will very likely become my company truck, I need the write-offs

company truck? What sort of company you might ask? well...



WTF IS THAT? right?

Hint hint, your truck/car will smell much better if running on this stuff...



does that clear it up a little for ya?

NO? Maybe this will help



Paradise Lost BevCo

I build whiskey and spirit distillation equipment. This is what I do in my spare time, after my regular day job. in my spare spare time i work on my other projects. my C-10 being the latest addition to the chaos around here.

This particular machine will produce 186 proof at a rate of 2 gallons per hour from a 35%abv boiler charge. one of my test columns did a 96%abv production at the rate of 6 liters per hour from a ~6%abv junk-a-hol boiler charge.

Interesting to watch too.

This is just during heat up, all the plates are loaded but the 3rd plate is still. this changed once i cranked the heat up for production. again, this is ugly, it is my test still and not the production model.
