Thanks for the welcome.
I’m from WA state.I dabbled in cider and wine making.
Had a batch go wrong and I froze distilled it. It turned out pretty tasty so I ordered a dual purpose pro from mile high after watching days worth of still it and Barley & hops on YouTube.
While waiting for it to ship I’m still taking in knowledge.
That’s me in a nutshell

Welcome, LLG.

Knowledge is good in this hobby. Early on you can't read enough but after awhile everything starts to fall into place.

Just curious - what is the lead/delivery time MileHi is quoting for the dual purpose pro? You fixin' to make brandy and neutrals?

Barley and hops won't get you where you want to be. The dual purpose mile high will do pot still OK but not a good reflux system. Welcome to HD.

Hi from another mossy Washington stater. welcome to the forum. Watch out for rabbit holes.
