Stovetop Alcohol still making popping noises?
I am distilling a sugar-water wash (For fuel ONLY) that has been brewing for about 10 days on a homemade still (a large pot with an upside down lid and a bowl in the middle) and it is making popping noises. I have it on extremely low heat from a gas stove. And when I watched it, it looked like a large bubble of air was being released and making the noise. I have turned it off and don't know what to do.
Just a guess
your mix boils and water vapor collects under the bowl and you hear it bouncing on the bottom of your cooker
it happens when I am canning and there is no grill or cloth on the bottom
