Mainsteaming Stills
Couldn't believe it - Wayfair is selling stills.

Probably a crappy still, but point being, these things are going mainstream. Next thing you know, Walmart will be selling them.

I didn't click the link, I'd have guessed it to be a Alembic. Not a shitty conglomeration of cheap pots, tainted copper and brass, and silicone seals.

Queue the inrush of newbs. This kind of mainstream popularity will, no doubt, be frustrating for the moderators and experienced hobbyists who will be snubbed at for having to beat the dead horses again. However, IMO it will end up being beneficial towards legalizing the craft as more and more people, hopefully, begin to understand the safe and practical means of distilling their own alcohol.
Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.

Re: Mainsteaming Stills
You need to keep up with whats happening in the world of cheap shit stills Yonder.
These are one of the types of stills that newbs buy and then get offended when you tell them that they have just been ripped off, or that its a piece of rubbish.
There are even worse out there for sale on Amazon and other Net outlets if you look hard enough.
Here is just one example.
These are being described and sold as a "dephlegmator still ".
The difference being that these are a copper piece of shit , instead of a stainless piece of shit.

Everytime I'm scrolling the topics list and I see this thread I read it as "Mainlining shine" and I'm like, that sounds dangerous. Lol

Re: Mainsteaming Stills
That Copper plated still looks impressive Salty . Are those uniquely hand hammered Dimples to enhance flavour ?
But wheres the thermometer ? It can’t possibly work with out one . How will I know what temperature to hold it at ?

Re: Mainsteaming Stills
I believe there is a port for a probe for a PID that will hold it at the correct temperature

You can also buy alcohol stills on Home Depot’s website!
