Re: What still to built or buy?

Hey newbie here,
I want to build a still. I have a pot and 10 feet of 1/4" copper tubing with some cuplers. Thats leftover from an old project(unopened). Can I use this to make a still? Should I add a thermometer to it and if so whats the best placement?

Hey I'm new to home distillation

Hey I'm Max,

I have been home brewing wines and beer for years now. I'm looking to go the next step. To learn how distillation works. I want to try to build a simple pot still to start, and I'm looking for guidance.
