Greetings
Greetings from darkest Wales, UK. I'm a long time home brewer but recently tried some vodka distilled by a friend and loved it. I have just purchased a home made reflux still by someone recommended to me by a friend and having seen his work on YouTube, I can't wait for delivery day. I'm sure I will be learning from you guys and I look forward to the experience.
Re: Greetings
Good to have you here chiparawe. Welcome to Home Distiller!
Re: Greetings
Would that be one of Mr Manning's stills?

Re: Greetings
Mike yes it would be and after reading the posts here I’m probably going to regret it. Unfortunately a friend knows him and put me in touch
Re: Greetings
Don't sweat it, they're not that bad (although he had a tendancy to put silicone tube in places it shouldn't really be). I started with something very similar and found it an excellent learning experiencechiparawe wrote:Mike yes it would be and after reading the posts here I’m probably going to regret it.

Re: Greetings
Thanks Mike-moo. I’m sure it will give me an intro until I’m ready to move onto something better. I have a mate with a T500 and what he produced was acceptable to my missus so that’s my aim, lol.
Re: Greetings
Welcome to HD. The T500 is another poor choice, out of the box it breaks the rules. I don't let the mention of it go without a warning to noobs, look before you pull the trigger and buy one. Along with YouTube's best corn likker.

Re: Greetings
Thanks AC. I just wish I’d found this forum before I decided to try distilling, I thought I had done a fair bit of research but in hindsight I’ve just done what most noobs do. One consolation is the outlay didn’t break the bank and while I do more research I’ll use my “not that good” until I figure out what would be best for me. As I am only looking at gin and vodka I am leaning towards a Boka but we shall see.
Re: Greetings
Well don't be bummed. As I said, I started with almost the exact same model from ebay. I cut the through tubes and made a pot still out of it. That then broke, so I bought some pipe and the rest is history
