black dragon pearls are a real treat...  expensive      but d**n good.

How do you steep yours?

I use one of these..  have one at home  and (had) one at work..

best invention ever   (watch the video they have on it)

That's cool,
I've always used my tea pot and strained it.
I guess I'll have to help stimulate the economy and get one.

Yep, I watched it.
Now it's time for bed.
Tea in moderation does not effect my sleep. :-D

I have been around some of you serious tea guys! I am the guy that drives you nuts! I use one of those spring loaded tea steepers and an 'acorn' that screws together for loose tea. Yes, if I use a tea bag I swirl it around for a couple minutes and squeeze it into my cup before I toss it into the compost. Tea has never affected me as far as sleep. Coffee keeps me awake. They say tea has more caffeine. Go figure.

Home made old school! Glass gallon jug, crock pot filled with mineral oil, Cork in the top with a hole drilled in it, 2' of 1/4" copper tube with 1" conduit and washers silver soldered on, inlet on the bottom side, outlet on the top side. Hose from top to sink, hose on faucet to bottom inlet. Slow dribble of water to cool the coil. Did the long coiled copper tubing at first, but too much to work with and clean. You have to clean the tubing with vinegar for 20 minutes, then flush just before you start. If you clean the copper well you do not have to worry as much about getting poisoned.  :-D  Some still charcoal filter after, but that is a personal choice. There are things you watch for (blue tint, slick on the top of the liquid) so you know it is not contaminated. If the liquid "boils over", or gets in the tube you have to stop and clean everything again and start over. ALL distilled alcohol is clear. Additives or burnt oak give the color. Later outfit did 5 gal at a time. Old stainless 5 gal milk jug with the removable sealed top, but a 3/4" water cooled tube. Propane cook element to heat it SLOWLY. You can watch the vapor move up into the tube to the top of the copper. Acts like a liquid. When it starts to 'pour' over the top bend it starts the flow and the temp spikes. If it is too hot it will boil/foam up into the tube then you get to clean up and start over! Do NOT fill your vessel too full! 1/2 was usually pretty safe. Bringing back some memories. making me thirsty!

 










Submitted for KXriders approval..       just need to weld 2 ferrules on the keg.. and im up and runnin...      stands 6' tall

‘Tis a thing of beauty! Should get you some serious production. I have and old beer handle around here somewhere if you want it. Do not remember what kind of beer it is. I will dig around for it. Was going to use it for a gearshift handle, but I think I am edging toward selling the 327 & 4 speed in the garage rather then build a project around them.
