Deep South Chemist

Post by Jcollier70 »

Hello,
My name is Jackson and I am a biochemistry student in Georgia. Currently I do not have a functional still and am looking to buy one on the cheap to see if I would enjoy distilling. I know the basics of the chemistry behind how fermentation works along with one run to my name in a makeshift still that did not work.

Welcome Jackson.
My son's name is Jackson.
Biochem student that does not distill seems on par with the chef that starves?

Welcome.
You have come to the right place to learn. Might want to read up on stills and building one before buying a cheap one. Will save frustration and possibly money. If I were in your location I would hook up with a engineering student, preferably mechanical or thermodynamics and together build out something awecome
