First still!!!

Post by UKwildcatshiner »

Got my first pot still completed and am going to run a sugar wash this weekend. I've done a lot of research and studying on this great site and think I am ready! Lets hope anyways. I am kinda nervous about the "cutting" but I think I got it down I know it takes messing with it to get it right. Any advice before I start on Saturday?

Is that saran wrap on your lid? and a plastic funnel on the output?

Yes UK the plastic is bad.........copper, stainless or glass, and the glass just to catch your product.
