Steam isn't necessary as botanicals won't burn onto the pot until you run it dry. You will shut the heat off before then. I don't recall anyone posting about running botanicals with an exposed element. You go first. I didn't trust an internal element so built a stovetop gin still using a saucepan a...

I have a vodka guy that makes some amazing GNS. Truly the best GNS. Some say its the greatest in the tri-state area. :thumbup: Im truly fortunate that it is absolutely neutral and perfectly suited for Gin. Im looking for input from some of you fine experienced gentleman on how to choose (build/buy) ...

You could get a 10l boiler like this,throw on a Carter head, and you could be experimenting with your recipes. Tōtō If you don't like to build with your hands,Peter there at oak stills could build you what you want if you don't see it there on their site. You’re a beautiful man, thank you for the r...

Hi all, I am looking at the 8gallon potstill from Oakstills.com for gin making and am looking for feedback from experienced distillers. I understand that an exposed heating element may not be the best option as it can cook/burn botanicals? I read here that some use induction cook tops but some of t...

As above you need more than one still to make gin.....or more correctly 2 different still heads. A reflux still to producec the neutral base spirit .....then a pot still to distill the gin. For the gin making part I use a standard electric boiler that comes with the T500 stills. These boilers have ...

That is a pretty expensive still for making gin. I like the advice you got from NZ on a column for making a neutral and then redistilling in a pot still after using one of the many recipes on the forum for maceration of the botanicals. What kind of post still? Are you talking like a 1-3L alembic wi...

A lot of folks around here don't use a single still type for making gin. If you want to make gins that require a very clean neutral, you will need to be able to use a reflux still head to make the neutral as well as a suitable pot still head for the style of gin, which may require a basket, or an o...

This is my required inaugural post.

I am in the day dreaming phase of distilling. I have some educational distillation experience.

I do not have a still but am very interested in the Gin craft.

I am also from south central USA.

Cheers!
