As to what I like to drink....as long as its wet, tastes good, and has a healthy kick, I'm all in...lol. I don't discriminate when it comes to giving different types of spirits the chance to "shine". I crack me up...lol. After a bunch of reading, I think where I'd like to start is building...

thanks guys, guess I was looking at it wrong.

I'm reading till my eyes bleed as recommended by most folks, But As I try to wind my way through some of the design threads I've notices that some of the info is quite old. Is there a cut off point in age or relevance? I know there's a lot of tried and true designs, but I don't want to build somethi...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. This for me is like a trip to the candy store when I was a kid. I look around and see all this mouth watering copper candy, and I hear my wife's voice whispering" you can have ONE...."how to choose, how to choose....

Hi Guys, After lots of research I think I'm about ready to build something.

Sorry NZ, wasn't my intention to cause any kind of ruckus or ask for a spoon feeding. I've got a neighbor that has 5-5 liter boxes of blush sitting in his garage that he says I can just have. It was left over from a party that never happened, and I've done him a few favors. Was just looking for a cr...

Thank you Otis, Structural safety over time is important to me as well. Glad to hear its not an issue of something nasty leaching into the steam/reflux though.

I've been reading as much as I can on the parent site, and had a question about one of the examples listed. In Mike Pemberton's Vapour Management Still, the description shows using a 1000 mm aluminum tube with ss scrubbers. Was I wrong in assuming that the only acceptable construction materials were...

Lol, would be easier sayin where I haven't been. My boots had a mind of there own, and generally went lookin for trouble.

Hello All, I'm a retired military vet with way too much time on my hands. I am a transplanted deep south swamp rat (hence the user name), but now live in a colder climate as I no longer have much love for humidity, hurricanes, sink holes, snakes, and skeeters large enough to carry off your young in ...
