Hello from America, the Land of the Free (not so free though when it comes to distilling). Odd place is America. For a land that boasts freedom they really to crack down and regulate distilling.
I’m an engineer by profession who likes to tinker while not at work. I’ve been brewing beer for two decades but always had the urge to distill. I finally ponied up and purchased a still to get into this hobby. It finally arrived last week. I currently have 25 gallons of 10% rum fermenting. It will be my first go at it. Exciting times.
You guys will be seeing me troll the forums and helping out. I don’t know much about distilling yet but I do have a solid foundation on chemistry, thermodynamics, material science, etc. I’m a engineer so let hope I know what I’m talking about LOL. I’ll be sticking to my strengths and posting what I know to be true. Cheers guys and stay safe in trying times.

Welcome to HD c93010! What still did you get? Any foto’s? Your beer brewing experience will be a great resource for ferments. Looking forward to your take.

China still from Distillex at AliExpress. A complete kit for 600 US Dollars delivered. Not a bad deal and decent quality.
10 gallon kettle, 2"x2' column, 12" dephlegmator. Lets see how it turns out. Anyone interested in getting one and a detailed review shoot me a message.
