Adding sugar late would probably work okay, if you really didn't add enough.
I wouldn't use plastic tubing. The part near the pot could melt--and even if it it didn't out-and-out melt, it could still get hot enough to release toxic chemicals into your product--not to mention that the alcohol itself could leach toxic chemicals out of the plastic. Plus, it would probably insulate the product too well, keeping it from condensing, meaning that you'd get alcohol into the air rather than into your bottle where you can drink it.
The yeast is alive. It'll go on growing until it either runs out of sugar or until the alcohol concentration rises so high that it poisons the yeast (about 10% for bakers yeast, about 15-20% for brewers yeast).
Ideally, you'd like these two things to happen right at the same time--if they die of starvation, you've got less alcohol, but if they die of alcohol poisoning, you've wasted sugar. If you balance it perfectly, you've got just what you want with no waste.
The receipe provided aims for that point, assuming that you've got bakers yeast. If you've got brewers yeast, you can increase the amount of sugar by 50-80%. (You'll have to experiment to figure out what works with the yeast you've got.)
Making smaller batches changes almost nothing, except that you'll end up with less product--you can use the same amount of yeast, and it'll take almost as long.
As far as freezing the yeast, there's no point to it. It won't kill your yeast. It won't kill any bacteria in the yeast either--but it'd be great if it did, because you don't really want bacteria in the yeast: It's the yeast that make the alcohol.
A few alcoholic beverages are fermented with bacteria as well as yeast. Sour ale, for example, has lactobacilli that produce lactic acid, giving the beer its sour taste. (Sourdough bread is made much the same way.) There are also bacteria (called acetobacters) that turn alcohol into vinegar. You don't want any of them for moonshine, though.
I would suggest you do the same thing as a poor man's humidor. Go to a cigar store, get a 75 cent humidor insert, but a couple drops of water on it when you stick it the container and see if that keeps it wet.
Nature is a great universal stress reliever, one that is close to everyone. I go for a walk as often as I can. At work I watch relaxation videos (here).
I found that a local furniture store has several dumpsters full of cardboard, styrofoam and other assorted materials that can be used for packing. I called the store and was told to go out back and help myself. The downside is that you may end up making your own boxes since the cardboard tends to be in large sheets.
"So when gas hits 4 or 5 or 8 dollars per gallon, we (the general populace) will likely continue to stubbornly cling to our "high-gas" existences because we've built our life that way. We've built our cities and our suburbs and our workplaces around the availability of inexpensive energy sources and inexpensive cars."
I absolutely agree. Many people have few options for reducing their fuel consumption. They live in the exurbs, owe thousands on gas-guzzling vehicles bought during better days, and have limited or no public transportation access. And, now that the easy money days appear to be over, they have no way of borrowing enough to keep us going. It is going to be exceeding painful for us as a nation to face the truth: peak oil is coming and there are no quick fixes.
My friend and I wanted to do a little experiment on some CD scratches, so we grabbed a knife and carved some small and medium scratches into a blank disc.
First we tried fluoride toothpaste, which did practically nothing to the scratches.
We then tried some glass cleaner, which had basically the same effect, but managed to remove some unseen dust and dirt.
Then we tried some furniture polish, which removed some of the smaller scratches on the disc.
Then, we combined the toothpaste, glass cleaner and furniture cleaner and tried it on the CD. It removed most of the smaller scratches, and sealed in the bottom of some of the larger scratches.
Cooking oil didn’t do much, but helped when combined with the first solution of toothpaste, glass cleaner and furniture cleaner, removing and sealing some more scratches.
Peanut oil did the same, and we added it to the combination too.
Now the combined ingredients were working to seal in the scratches, and by the time we tried out the olive oil, the scratches couldn’t be felt by running your finger over the top of them.
Once again we added the olive oil to the mixture and tested it. It worked unexpectedly well.
Then we tried out the teatree oil. It worked very well, and all but two scratches could be felt on the disc at this stage. We added it to the mixture and by now the mixture wasn’t really going to do much and the disc was the best we could get it.
We used a lint-free cloth which we cleaned in between different ingredients. We used a tea towel to dry. We used both circular and straight cleaning motions and both worked reasonably well.

OK, so there's a ton of crap here EV1? Gas prices in Britain? yeah check Eastern Europe!
Electric cars and hydrogen cars and air-powered cars are all just stop-gaps. At best they're tiny increments better, but honestly, hybrids and more efficient cars are the best mid-terms solutions right now, especially from a monetary standpoint. Hydrogen may be an eco-friendly power "container" but it's not really a readily available "power source".
Point is that "plugging in" your car may reduce your gas bills, but you're paying for it somewhere else, likely by burning natural gas or coal somewhere else. Clearly not a solution we can implement across 250M passenger vehicles in the US.
So-called "Hybrids" are the way of the future because we need to find better ways to move these personal vehicles, not just a different energy source. Honestly, gas is just fine right now. If every car on the road had regenerative braking (like the Prius or EV-1) and place to store the energy (like hybrids do), we could likely be saving 15 to 20% of our gas usage. Heck if half of the world's commuters took a motorcycle to work instead of the family SUV, we'd save tons of energy.
But the fundamental truth, which you did touch, is that North Americans (in general) are addicted to their cars and have founded their life around the availability of a personal vehicle to move themselves around. So when gas hits 4 or 5 or 8 dollars per gallon, we (the general populace) will likely continue to stubbornly cling to our "high-gas" existences because we've built our life that way. We've built our cities and our suburbs and our workplaces around the availability of inexpensive energy sources and inexpensive cars.
And most people couldn't even imagine life without their car. They can't envision that existence, so they're not going to see it until gas hits like $13 per gallon and people start forcing their reality to shift. And if it never makes it there, then nothing will really change.
While I strongly believe that Chris' comments above are genuine and his intent to help and serve the senior market is admirable...the information provided and the reasoning is somewhat flawed. If someone has reached their senior years and has not done planning for the variables noted in his comments a little bit of life insurance is not going to help regardless of the type purchased...whether term life or cash value plans. Each of the reasons mentioned that supposedly create value for the cash value/whole life plans only raise the amount of coverage needed thereby raising the cost of the plan.
If you want a little burial policy, yes it is easier to qualify for but that will not get you too far in the other areas addressed as being benefits provided...supplement income, investment growth, estate planning, and college planning. These are all important goals or strategies to have but can not be accomplished with a "small amount of life insurance". These little burial type policies range from $2000 to 15,000 in coverage generally and on a per thousand basis of cost are expensive due to the applicants age and the whole life nature of the coverage. They just seem more affordable because they are based on small amounts. In addition, each one of the other policy features mentioned are really just an over statement since each of these goals simply add to what the policy value really needs to be which would raise the cost of the plan significantly. If you see past the imagery created it is just another method of hyping all the features of cash value plans based on the "flexibility" of the program and the premise that people need life insurance for their "whole life". I could not disagree more and in the end the comments and the numbers don't match up.
Forget all the other "great" features of life insurance noted for a moment. Just think about the concept of why you are buying the protection. It is purchased so that you can meet obligations and debts that currently you do not have the resources otherwise to take care of. As a tool in your financial plan you need life insurance for that period which corresponds to your inability to be able to provide for your family or pay bills. When you buy cash value insurance you are basically saying that I plan on being in debt and not being able to provide for my family for the rest of my life. All the other features that are pushed about cash value plans only distract from that premise.
Now many will say that cash value plans simply give you flexibility to plan for all variables; death, living, indebtedness, retirement, wealth transfer, etc. But many of the comments about term insurance mentioned earlier are incorrect and antiquated. You can purchase term insurance today for 10, 15,20,30 and new 40 and 50 plans are being offered. All of these plans have guaranteed coverage (no requalification required) during the period purchased. In addition, coverage can be purchased today on individuals up to 80 years old. Yes, the premium is expensive but you should see the cost of cash value plans...often 10 times higher. In addition, most reputable plans actually renew until age 95 though they get very expensive after the initial guaranteed premium period.
I don't profess that seniors now should be buying any type of life insurance unless they have debt or an inability to provide for their spouse at their death. There are so many other better investment options available to people and you should only buy life insurance...if you need life insurance. However, the concept of buying term and investing the difference still has financial merit since the significant savings from buying the term policy instead of the cash value plan can be invested over the remining years of life and will in essence build a savings fund that can address these same strategies more effectively. If you die prematurely then the death benefit from the policy and your separate savings are available to you instead of just the cash value death benefit. Remember when you die with a cash value plan you only get the policy amount not your savings also. If you die after the term policy expires then the savings from not buying the cash value plan and investing it over the years is the resource for burial and the other goals noted.
Is either of these approaches a perfect resolution to a senior who has not done proper planning through their life and now find themselves unable to meet financial responsibilities later in life...NO! But using a poorly designed, expensive cash value life insurance plan and over-reaching on what it can really accomplish is not an effective strategy either. The comments above are really just recycled logic to get people in their younger years to buy these plans based on the same flawed premise as evidenced by the comment..."If the policy is purchased early enough or funded heavily in the beginning...". If while you are younger, during that 30-40 year period while carrying term life insurance, you budget your resources, get out of debt, maximize retirment plan options, invest the savings from not buying cash value insurance and generally follow a plan of just basic common sense financial decision-making you will not have the long term need for any life insurance and be able to prosper from better investment options. If you don't do these things and wait to plan your financial needs when you are a senior I doubt you will be able to follow anyone's advise.
2 questions. is it ok to add more sugar that has been sterilized through boiling to the solution that you already have fermenting (im worried that i may not have added enough sugar). I see he said that plastics are iffy during distilation but would it be ok to use plastic tubing in my homemade still?
if you only have a large enough pot to make a half batch, with half the water and half the sugar. (using the 3 gallons water and 5 punds sugar recipe) and sense the yeast multiplies, will it multiply to much and run out of sugar then die?
I'm a college student in a very cold winter climate. I live on the second story of a two-story apartment building and my roommates and I didn't have to turn on our heat once during the winter. If you can, I highly recommend looking for an apartment or duplex that is on an upper floor with someone living below you. Heat rises, and luckily the couple who live below us are from Pheonix, so they like to keep it nice and toasty. Just something to think about!
A lot of kids at my school are on food stamps. As long as you live off-campus and have some sort of job you can get them. Plus, we're in a low-income area (Western Maryland) so a lot of stores deal with them. I also work at the school's cafeteria, so I get a free meal every shift I work. Any tips for affording rent in college lol?
Southern Maryland has some awesome libraries and activities. I've always had a good experience with our libraries since I was a kid going to storytime and the magic shows and stuff. Recently they started a series of gardening classes spanning several months last year and continue it this year. They teach about using native plants, etc. Wish I were at home now so I could take part in that stuff :) Our library actually subscribes to some kind of indie film thing so I can even see movies I've never heard of. Interlibrary loan is always great too! Actually I made myself go to the local library in my college town and it sucks compared to home :( If you'd like to see why I say my library is awesome go here: http://host.evanced.info/calvert/evanced/eventcalendar.asp
Okay, so I've tried almost every single one of these.
Main point - Toothpaste does not work. Not at all. We tried that, and no luck. We're trying the Pledge idea, and hopefully with a time or two, we can fix it.
Until we figure out another idea (possibly lotion?), our poor, scratches Wii Games disk is hopelessly ruined. All a big thanks to my annoying younger brother, who dropped it, carelessly.
As for the others;
Banana, we haven't tried yet. Although I'm sure it wouldn't work too well, judging on the response to the video.
Chewing Gum, I highly doubt works either. It would seem that instead of fixing the scratch, it would only make it worse.
We're on to thinking of other methods, but as for the ones in here -- sorry to say, I don't think they would work terribly well with the deeper gashes.
I'm in college and I'm lucky enough to be able to walk to work and school (good for my health too) and take the free shuttle to the grocery store (although it IS inconvenient because the bus doesn't always show up).
This summer will be killer. I have to take a class back home that is an hour (not counting traffic) from my house and it's 4 nights a week! I calculated based on $4/gal I'd be spending $80 a week on gas just for that class! That'll be about 40% of my weekly income this summer :( I guess I'll cross my fingers that someone going to the community college at a similar time lives near me and we can carpool.
So far i have had 2 of these large ring-like scratches get on my games because of some careless x-box treatment, i used my glasses polish and that made a game playable but very laggy and did not remove scratches. Im trying to make Halo 3 work on my 360 but i dont know how to remove the giant ring, plz respond cause i am sad >.<, :(

will freazing the yeast for storage kill that bacteria in it needed for making the alchohol?

Hydrogen may be an eco-friendly power "container" but it's not really a readily available "power source".
The fundamental problem is that we need to move all of these giant hunks of metal via some form of energy. If you power the hunk of metal by plugging in your car, then you'll pulling energy "from the grid". Right now, that grid consists of 31% coal, and like a 45% chance of being powered by natural gas or oil of some sort and a 10% chance of being fueled by nuclear power. Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Biomass make up less than 2% of energy generation in the US, relatively clean and renewable hydroelectric makes up about 9%.

This summer will be killer. I have to take a class back home that is an hour (not counting traffic) from my house and it's 4 nights a week! I calculated based on $4/gal I'd be spending $80 a week on gas just for that class! That'll be about 40% of my weekly income this summer :( I guess I'll cross my fingers that someone going to the community college at a similar time lives near me and we can carpool.
I am going this year "Saving on new clothing", this mean i will buy new clothing until 2009. I a doing good until now. And it feels good
