New distiller from Georgia

Post by cotton_scale »

So in my haste to gain insight from the community, I neglected to read a line that was in bright red, right in front of me that it's good manners to introduce myself :oops:

Hi from Georgia, where my Missionary Baptist heritage is in direct conflict with my interest in distilling. I always have to be building something, and usually by the most difficult means possible, so I instead of buying a perfectly good pre-made still, I bought a whole lot of copper sheets and embarked on pintoshine's 5-gallon pot still despite never having worked with metal. Version 1.0 turned out pretty well and I already have about a book's worth of notes to make version 2 even better.

I look forward to meeting (and learning from) a whole lot of you in my endeavor to put some full mason jars in my kitchen cabinet...
