I don't own one, but everyone I heard from loved his work.
I cobbeled mine together from copper sheet, but his look real nice.
He will do custom work if you ask, but demand is high, and will usually take a little time.

damn thats some nice work, and the prices are very reasonable. I dont think you can go wrong with that.

My only problem would be concealing something like that, I guess it would be perfect for a farm, but to have that laying around the house would atract allot of attention. Maybe you can build a hidden room like the Dukes lol.

Look at the 10 gal bottle still. That's the one you need. Have him make the bottom part any size you want. Mine's 25 gal. I had him to add two 7/16 copper lines righ at the full line. I just pump the wash out of the mash barrel with a bilg pump (with a filter on the suck tube) right into the still. I connect a line to the other 7/17 line and run it to a bucket, when sumpthing starts running int the bucket I know the still is full. Then just disconnect the lines and hook them up to the water recirculating barrel, and you are ready to go. I whittled me a coupla sticks to plug the fill lines with. Best still you can fine anywhere.

I have to second DBM, I have the 10gal Gerogia still and I think that it is a great still. The only mod I could think of is that the condenser could be a little bigger(longer), or if he could have coiled the tube carrying the vapor prior to putting the cooling jacket on. The thing that I like is that the top of the still is a 2" threaded coupling, so in the future you can attatch a colomn to it when you want to move up to a true reflux still.
As for where to store it? if you keep it polished and the house decore is right you can keep it on an end table as a conversation piece, his craftsmen ship is excellent!
