Hey From East Coast Canada!

Post by KryptKeepa »

Hey Guys,

Doing some avid researching into building my own still. Love the site what a wealth of fantastic information!
I originally was just going to buy a still from a retailer but after seeing everyone on here say DIY was the way to go
I decided to build. I can now see why.

Hope to soak up as much knowledge and read as much as I can over the next while!

Dreaming of a nice VM setup and searching for supplies.



Cheers,

Good luck with your build and share a photo when you're done.

Welcome from a fellow Canadian from northern Ontario..

Use the "HD Google Search" at the top of the page, when it open, just provide a space after the org/forum and type in whatever your're searching for, and click the search icon.. this method will provide you with all the answers to questions that will become part of the process of learning to distill..

Welcome!
Make sure that after you build your new rig (congrats on taking the plunge) you go through the mandatory cleaning process. Steam, vinegar and water, and a sacrificial run. You'll have stuff clinging to your still that you don't want in your insides.
