I have been interested in distilling for a long time and have looked at all the designs. I have a copper reflux I have been playing with and am building a mag tun keg. I have made beer and may stick to that but really found this process interesting. I think moonshiners got me interested, and also how good scotch and bourbon are. looking to mostly read and learn. As I learn and attempt stuff I will post pictures.
Thanks!

Welcome, billy!
Yup, scotch and bourbon (all brown liquors, really) are the rage for many of us here, they’re the driving force behind a lot of information exchange and sharing. You can also make your processes as simple or as complex as you want.
Enjoy the learnin’,

Welcome! I hope you find a few things here to set your kettle boiling. I found that I enjoyed other spirits even more as I got into this hobby. Maybe it’ll be the same for you? Anyway, if you run into trouble or want to have folks suggest adjustments to your plans, you’ll find a lot of helpful people around this place. Cheers!
