Really glad to find a community like this!

I'm a spirit lover and just randomly decided to jump in, bought the still below with no real plans. It arrives Monday!

Hoping this form will inspire and help.

Welcome to you!

Before you jump all in too fast, go to the new distillers reading lounge, and spend a little time going through everything there. Then in the novice section, pay extra attention to this: http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 15&t=52975

In particular, start by figuring out how to clean that still! Run it first with water, then a vinegar and water run, and finally, a sacrificial alcohol run, from which you sample none of the product. Safety and caution are better learned not the hard way in this hobby!

Come on in, billop01.
Excited is the right word. I still get excited about the entire process.
Have fun with the new still, and Welcome!

Thanks everyone!

I have spent the last few days going through the novice section, particularly the links posted by cranky, it is indeed absolute required background.

I have done hundreds of distillations in laboratory settings, so I’m hoping that helps me pick things up quickly, but I’m certainly not rushing into anything.

As suggested, I am planning to spend the next couple of weeks doing cleaning and non-consumption runs to get to know my equipment. Will definitely keep posted on how things go!
