Re: What's your stills name?
I shall name my new purchase "Haus" not all that original I am sure, but it works for me. I know.... don't murder me for purchasing, but I do not have the time and available materials right now to build, but I am sure I will some day.
Re: What's your stills name?
If I had to pick a name I think it would be Karen, cause she reminds me of my wife(hot headed). So just to keep peace in the family I will call her Ginger

Re: What's your stills name?
I've named her Bessy Lou, Bessy Lou is a sweetheart, after a little Fores(play), she gives a little head, then you get some likker and mess around a couple hrs., then she gives you some tails, you cool her down, clean her up and set her in the corner. She never gripes or complains, I love my Bessy Lou!

Re: What's your stills name?
The speaker of my house named my new still yesterday . Keep in mind that I just finished fabricating it and started doing cleaning/test runs . Looking at it running as it should she said ,"That's Calvin . Dirty little bastard just stands there pissing all over everything ."

Re: What's your stills name?
My first device is a two gallon pot still named "Baby". The one I'm putting together currently is "Goldilocks", because she's just right.
I'm an apartment brewer, and the half keg and tower just clear the ceiling over the stove by an inch.

Wash that won't fit in the kettle will fit in ice cube trays...just top them off with output water from the cooling line until there's enough output for a "hot martini".

I call both of mine Ghost. Most of the time when I run I drape a white sheet over them and hand it loosely over their shoulders (temp gauges and take off/leibig). Sight to see with the warm air rising and catching sail under the sheet-looks alive-iT IS!

Re: What's your stills name?
Anyone, who has read any of my posts, knows I have a partner. We officially call ourselves Savaged Distillations. The current name of our still is, originally, "Boiler Number 1". Being born in 1979, I'm a displaced child of the 80's and 90's. So... I, myself, like to refer to our still as "Chester Copperpot". I know there will be a few who get it.
