Hi to all of you from the sunny UK well today at least
i have done plenty of beer and ciders but have now recently acquired an air still (yes i know they are not great) but it was a gift and i am just starting so be kind
done lots of reading on this forum so the first thing will be to ditch the nasty turbo yeast and carbon crap.....

It takes time and patience, to learn ninjutsu...so does distilling.
Those who are humble enough to learn from a true master, may one day become a master themselves.
Please have a look at the spoonfeed thread (link is in my signature) and you'll soon discover why it's a wise decision to ditch turbo yuck and carbon crap.
While an airstill might be fun to play with, you'll only achieve good results with decent equipment. It doesn't have to cost you half an arm, though.

Hi ninja, The guy at our brew shop runs an air still and just lets it run until the "product" had a SG of 40%, as per the instructions.
- I've tasted his stuff - done with turbo and carbonned etc - It was "ok" neutral(ish) - but if you go that route, keep reading and bear in mind, what we do here is so much better than "ok" and many times it is better than you can buy at any price.
Anyway, welcome in and hope to hear your joy at your first product and watch as you progress
its my second year of using an airstill. knocked out some wicked work thus far. my best being 80% spiced dark rum which i aged in an oak barrel.
Always willing to share any lessons i've learned. Currently working on Sweet Potato Vodka
