Greetings, imcool...

You obviously didn't see the name Euro Still on the boiler... To be honest with you, forget you ever watched that YouTube video... You don't want to use turbo washes, and you don't want that particular still either... You've found your way to the biggest and most informative home distillation forum on the planet so take advantage of the wealth of knowledge available here and stop surfing for inaccurate information...

Good luck, stay safe, and enjoy the journey...

I found for myself, that it is enough for beginner to start with self-made pot still and double distillation. Start reading http://homedistiller.org/distill/dtw/double There you can find all other information. And then come back to forum

[imcool]

also , is there any chat room for discussing home distillation ? if not I would very much like to chat with you friends, please add me at [ Email address removed for security reasons. Please use PM's rather than posting publicly. ]

Where to start? The new distiller reading lounge section is a good place to start. The parent site is another. Keep in mind that some of the info on the parent site is outdated. So you need to follow up research here in the forums to het the most recent data. The novice section is another area where you will find answers to your questions.

This hobby is illegal in most all places. So finding someone to correspond with off the forums won't be easy. And if it is. I would be worried about the intentions of the person trying to contact you. So your best option is to use these forums to get answers to questions you may have. But please take the time to do your own research on it. Before asking. The forums are cluttered with many of the same questions. If you can think of a question. I would bet it has already been asked many times over.

Thanks again
