New world discovered thanks to this site
I've been around copper pot stills since i was around 10 years old. I've made many many gallons of good corn likker thru one, Me and mine think it's good anyway. After my kids showed me this internet deal and I read for 100000 hours on this site, I got curious bout this reflux tower deal. I had a "legally obtained" beer keg laying around in my parts pile, so I ordered a simple rig from mile hi. Within seconds after I ordered it, I started pilfering thru the wifes kitchen for mash mixings, since shine season is still a month or 2 away around here. Within an hour, I had a good chops wash bubblin. Well, my rig came in late yesterday evening on the brown truck and I immediately assembled and packed. This morning I fired it up and ran it off. I don't think I've mentioned how skeptical and stupid I felt by doing this rinky dink pipe bomb looking deal...Anyway, it started dripping within 10 minutes and after throwing off the first half pint, i started getting 180 proof on the next jar. Mind blown...It tasted good and I can really find no fault with it. Yall may laugh at a dumb hillbilly just learning of this kind of technology but im proud as I can be to lern this and am very proud this site exist.

Are you kidding? If it weren't for hillbillies we'd all be drinking Tab and Evian.
