Rain Dance Maggie or just Maggie
Shes named after the new Red Hot Chili Peppers song:

Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud

My first still is a 3 gal pot still I named it Roscoe because both my grandfather's names are Roscoe and the both made shine back in the day.
My second still is a 10 gal pot still its name is Rebel.

I've become more refined since then and don't call it anything. I did pick up a "Limited Edition" nameplate at the Napa and thought of sticking it on there. :)
My wife probably has some choice names for it, especially when I'm out pulling back to back all nighters with it.

I just give her some Kirschwasser and that seems to do the trick.

Originally I was thinking Rain Maker, but the design is so modular I'm now leaning towards SWMBO

In the interest of being discrete, I refer to mine as the "Mark II" and my future upgrade plans as the "Mark III"

Gotta go with Pauncho, cause I wrap him up in insulation and a mexican blanket I bought years ago, and slap a floppy cowboy hat over the top of the column....he's hunkering down in his corner, working harder without trying that most folks do when they are balls to the walls....

+1 Bills are named Candy..

I still haven't made a name up. But I'm leaning towards Cleetus or Fleece.. Maybe Birtha :relaxed:

Now that I think about it.. what if I name it Cornelius.. That's kind of uppity

anybody asks where I am ,
he's in the shed talking to Ed :)

Ed was the name of my best friend, Ed loved his Scotch

he died the week I received my still so thought I would name it Ed
his name and spirit are always with me while running the rig
Ed would be proud!
