Hi Guys

Postby City Slicker » Mon May 14, 2012 9:07 am

Hi Guys,

I have been reading the home site and the boards here for a few months now. Gawd there is a lot of information to absorb. I recently purchased a still column off ebay, which after reading a lot of information here, I realize now that it needs a lot of modification before I do anything with it, oh well, I got some 2" copper and a six inch coil out of it anyway. So in order to get started right away I decided to purchased a "Mighty Mini Dual Purpose 3 gallon Distiller" from Mile Hi, just waiting for it to be delivered... Feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning right now... lol.

Anyway, I started a 48 hr turbo wash about two weeks ago, it kinda smells like someone puked a bunch of white wine... and I am only going to use it for a sacrificial run. In the meantime I have an All Bran wash gurgling away right now, should be ready in a day or two.

Thanks Guys...

Greetings, City Slicker...

Nice to hear that you did a fair amount of reading before diving in head first... It sounds like you're on the right track so far... Hang in there, it gets easier...

Enjoy the journey... :thumbup:

Hey CS ...
You'll like the AllBran, it's a damn good recipe! Make sure to rinse your still out well after the cleaning run with the turbo wash (just hot water).
Have fun, stay safe.
