Hello from Minnesota

[mtdew_mn]

I'm been making beer and wine for the last few years, and decided to take the next step

I'm putting together a 2" bokabob, with a pony keg for a boiler.

My interests are mainly neutrals, though I may try some rum when I get the hang of things. I'm going to try a batch of the Birdwatcher's sugar wash for my first batch.

Welcome aboard, mtdew_mn...

It sounds like you have been doing your research because using a Bokakob dual slant plate reflux column to run Birdwatchers wash is a good way to produce clean neutral spirits...

Will you be heating the pony keg with gas or electric...???

Good luck...

Welcome to the forum, you do have a leg up with your background seems like a natural progression as many others have moved from beer and wine to liquor!

For now, propane (assuming there's a warm enough day that I wouldn't mind spending a day outside). I've already got a burner for my beer, so I'll start with that. I do like the idea of not having an open flame so close to a flammable liquid, so I may eventually go with electric. Elements are cheap, but when you start adding controller circuits and GCFI breakers and extra circuits, the costs start to add up.
