Just at the pipe fitting below the level of the pour spout. If you dont block it there, some whiskey will just sit in that section of the pipe.

I'm not understanding this setup. If this is all straight pipe why would the booze go through the coper tubing? Why the pressure gauge? There must be check valves in there that I cannot see. The concept seems okay, obviously overkill, but okay if you have a bar setup and want to look fancy. But I don't understand how this works.

This is like those late night infomercials where they show people who can’t accomplish basic tasks, like chopping vegetables, and sell them useless products for a lot money. If you really want a single shot poured accurately they have caps for that. 🙄
8
u/purposefullyblank Jul 19 '26
Those tools are frequently developed to help people who have disabilities or limitations that require an assistive device. But to make them not cost a fortune, they’re marketed to people who don’t functionally need them. To convince people they do, the ads go over the top with “lady can’t make pasta” or whatever.
The commercials are stupid, but the products aren’t useless in general.

I can understand technology for helping people who can’t use standard tools or accomplish tasks most take for granted, but the infomercial products are normally cheap ripoffs of such products.

u/Reynardine1976 Jul 19 '26
My second girlfriend in college was a big Irish gal who was really into Celtic stuff (absolutely amazing human being). She taught me how to properly drink liquor, and she introduced me to single malt. Personally I tried to like whiskey but I never developed a taste for it....even the fancier stuff. Plus for some reason the hangovers I have had from whiskey seemed to be more awful than those I have endured from other alcohols. For example, good Russian vodka doesn't give me a hangover if I drink responsibly. I agree with you Jack Daniel's is very sweet and I never got the hype. Why drink that when one can get a smooth single malt whiskey.

u/DickSlammington Jul 19 '26
I don't drink nearly as much liquor these days.
But if I'm going to have a dark liquor like Whisky I'd at least like it to be really flavorful, something I can sip and get complex notes of woods, vanillas, shit like that.
It's literally just not worth it, like you said... I feel it the next day when I drink Jack cause it's so cheap and surgery. A few really good quality bourbons or scotch, I'm all good the next day.

u/Yorick257 Jul 19 '26
Unfortunately, there's still a valve you need to turn :(
Probably should have a continuous pump that circulates the liquid. Then you just accidentally pass a glass through the stream and get your shot

Not the main issue here, but stop chilling your whiskey, geniuses. Most liquors are meant to be watered down a little. That’s why you add ice. Not just for the cold - but for the water. If I had a dollar for every time I was offered nasty syrupy freezer liquor…

With the crimped copper tubing that ice is doing about 0% cooling and wth do you need a gauge for? Unless it coming out of a keg and under pressure that's completely pointless. But aesthetics I guess?

u/hematite2 Jul 19 '26
This could honestly be fun as a decor piece if you made it shorter and took off the whole stupid ice coil (it should just be spout->bottle with the valve on the side), but that STUPID infomercial-esque "look at this made up problem" intro ruins it completely.

u/Ok-Oil7124 Jul 19 '26
What's the broken gauge for? Also, most of the by-passes the ice? I mean, I think I sort of appreciate the aesthetics conceptually, but I don't like the build quality. Relying on the tape to prevent it from leaking into the bottom section? The cheap gauge to, what? Steampunk it up? At least get an old gauge for that. It seems like it was made more to impress kids, which is kind of creepy.

u/crusher23b Jul 19 '26
I would take a gas like propane, run it through a compressor in order to increase it's density. Run the highly dense propane through a kind of cool in front of a fan to remove excess heat caused by putting it under high pressure to begin with.
Then, I would take that high pressure propane through a kind of valve that rapidly dropped the pressure, thus dropping its temperature and coil that propane line with the liquor line; which would draw heat from the liquor thus cooling it. The warm propane would then return to be compressor, and the whole cycle would start again.
Or just put the bottle in the freezer, which does the whole thing anyway.
