Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

Post by RunRufusRun »

Hello,
I’ve been distilling for about 8 years now, often times using this forum as a resource. Well I now feel I’ve been lingering long enough to join. I always had a bit of an obsession with making my own alcohol and I have a background in Welding, machining, and metal forming. Combine the two and this hobby just makes sense. I built my first Boka out of 2 small scrap copper sheets rolled up and soldered end to end, and ended up with a 2’ long by 3” wide column. A few pieces of pipe pounded flat for my slant plates and a little 1/4” copper tubing all on top of a beer keg and I was in business. More recently I have built an all copper pot still, thumper and shotgun condenser. I’m excited to share my methods of metal working while learning more about other aspects of this awesome hobby.

Read your other post and had to look why nobody greeted you. Best I can guess is we were getting laid. Welcome to HD.
