Take one part rum. Add in one part rum and two parts rum. If you feel like it (this is entirely optional), add in one part rum.

I call it rum.

You're missing the the point, you don't store scotch in the fridge or freezer.

Anywho, my favorite scotch that I never get to drink cuz I'm unemployed. pic related.

Problems with earth-reinforced and in-ground housing:

First you have to deal with the water table. Being too near a stream or in any even 1-2 acre microwatershed will cause massive runoff problems which strip the soil away or raise the water table enough to penetrate your floors. They must be built in deserts, on permafrost, or near the top of a substantial hill. My water table in the TX panhandle is 250ft, but back home it fluctuated between 10 and 50 feet. Some days I could dig a post hole not even 4 feet deep and it would be flooded an hour later.

Drainage: Wet wood is rotting wood. Piling silt or clay against logs will keep them perpetually moist and therefore rotting. Sand is the only real option because the gaps between grains are sufficient to allow for quick drainage. However, sand is prone to blow or wash away and requires constant attention.

lol nice. I can't say I've survived through any natural disasters other than snow/ice storms... survival consisting of staying the fuck inside and waiting it out.

If you add sugar it will cut down the shelf life considerably. Hard tack doesn't mold or such things quickly because it isn't readily edible to most common microorganisms. Sugar is a feast for the little beasties.

I made a few batches of hard-tack after I saw the OP's post. Like him, I used 2 cups flower, 3/4 cup water, 6 "pinches" of salt. It has been a few months now and my batches are just fine sitting in their ziplocks.

Here's what I've learned:
> Make them as flat and as square as possible. you want it to be baked all the way through and crunchy to take out the moist parts. Also poke holes. I don't know why, but it helps them look tastier and cook better.
> DO NOT MIX IN HONEY. I have no idea, but for once I just threw in some honey and then cooked it for a while. Maybe it was too moist, maybe it was the sugar, but god damn in a week they were green all over. Just keep the honey aside (which lasts damned near forever) and put it on top when ready.
> Butter seems to work OK. I'm sure they shorten the life, but those are the ones I regularly eat. Storables shouldn't.
> Eat them with milk or coffee. Hell, water if you have to. When you eat them, soak it for 10-15 seconds first to get them moist through and kinda peel it away slow with your teeth, don't just crank down and bite. When you get the hang of it, it's quite good, and now I keep them with my coffee.

If you have $5, you can buy salt and flower. Do it. It'll be awesome.

Next: Beer bread. It's stupid simple and tastes delicious. And you drink the left over beer.

WOO HOO THIS SHIT IS DELICIOUS

I can't remember the exacts but I made some hardtack batches some time last year. First batch was just plain 2 cups flour, some water, some salt, type thing. Second batch was same but added some pepper, cayenne, dry spices, and some baking powder. Third batch was normal recipe but with a small amount of baking soda and some molassas or brown sugar, can't remember which. After cooking I dehydrated it in all in the oven over a long period of time... Like everytime we would heat the oven up to cook something else, I'd pop the hardtack back in after whatever else was done, the oven was turned off, but still hot.

Its still fine. In the back of my car. I'd guess maybe since june last year? Texas.

Its very hard to re-hydrate. The less dense batches with baking soda can re-hydrate a bit quicker, but its still ridiculously slow. Either way its going to last ages, and that is the point.

Hacksaws, drills and hand tools at the moment. I can nigger rig anything else I need. Use my stove for soldering, shit like that. Parts list would include copper pipe and fittings, thermometers, copper mesh packing, solder and flux, maybe some hose.

What I'm thinking about doing is putting a copper flange on top of an old pressure cooker that the column would screw onto. Reflux column would be 2 inch copper pipe filled with copper mesh packing. One thermometer at the base of the column, another at the top. Step down to 1/2 inch pipe for the condenser with a 1 inch pipe secured with cork as a water jacket. I'd want a small valve at the top of the condenser which I could pour water through to clean out the loose packing in it after the methanol temp range is passed.

Parts list in my head that I just made up is:
2 1/4in copper flange
2 1/4 - 2in threaded neck
4ft 2in copper pipe
2 - 1/2in copper reducer
2 1/2in elbow joints
1/2in copper T joint with threads on the odd end
3ft 1/2in copper pipe
2ft 1in pipe

I reckon using steel wool packing instead of copper is better. High surface areas of Copper are more likely to contaminate the distillate with toxic copper salts.

I would suggest that you use PVC pipe for the condenser arm to keep cost down.

Using cork to seal between joins allows easy disasembly for cleaning and storage, but the cork must be replaced every so often. I am suspicious of using lead based soldering for food-grade applications. Using cork or similar to adapt your column to the condensing arm also has the desirable effect of insulating your column (which will be at about 78*C) from your condenser (which will be at approximately the temperature of your coolant). All up I avoided using ANY solder on my latest reflux still and am very happy with it.

If your column is equilibrated well (go slow early on), you will not need to wash out the column, and I advise against it as it will ruin your careful equilibrium.

Another consideration is your coolant system. I've drawn basically what works for me, keeping in mind that I use an aquarium pump to recirculate water after cooling. The pump can't handle too much pressure head, so an series, or inline system is out of the question, and water must always be allowed to flow throught the pump. I have put the condenser in parallel with no shut-off as too much condensing is never a problem...
In parallel to the condenser is the reflux coil which requires fine control or you have just fucked the point of having a reflux still, hence the Valve*.

  Fuck this thread has gotten me into a cannibal movie mood.

The useless in SHTF situation where you need to eat people are the children......

I would shoot myself in the head before I resort to eating children. Delicious loli anyone?

Steamed spaghetti squash with butter and brown sugar is the best thing ever to come off a stove.

Fuck now I'm hungry again.

  What is spaghetti squash? Cause squash sucks balls.
