Re: Hello All
Ive tied a crockpot setup but no luck really old crockpot.
So no not really was thinking of doing beer but for bang for the buck this seems more economical.
And thanks every one for welcome.

Re: Hello All
If yer lookin for economical, you can achieve it here. A simple pot still will work well and can be done cheap and safely. A reflux is a bit more spendy but again can be done pretty cheap.
That being said, I thought I'd be able to slide into this hobby cheap as well... turns out I like buidin sh*t. This hobby can be as expensive as you could imagine.
Good luck, have fun, enjoy that you rest on the shoulders of giants... and most of all, be safe.

Re: Hello All
I love to build and have a feeling if I start this I'll be hooked big time.
My last project was a aquaponics system I attached to my pond I built 5 years ago, slow start but seems to be working , we will see.
Only copper work Ive done was for plumbing, this opens up to a hole new level LOL.

Re: Hello All
Welcome Jar. Newerbrewer's advice about the pot still is good, but of course, I am a little bit biased.
