Just completed first still!

Many like to post about a first successful ferment (or first all grain mash), or first still built/bought or first good run of the still. Tell us about all of these great times here.

Just completed first still!

Post by jpsedelmaier »

I just finished building my first still and have to give a shout out to Anthony Mungo for all the help and guidance he gave me.
If there is anything wrong or that I could do better for it please feel free to share your ideas!
I will be making rum, whiskey, and brandy. I will also be using propane to heat.

Excellent, jp! There's something about a keg still with a shotgun that promises of good things to come! Nice job!

PS: If you can find a photo editor on your computer's OS, you can rotate your images to a vertical orientation, which will make it easier for all to appreciate your hard work.
