Welcome Hilbillyman. Are you looking for a keg or something else? Lots of good reading round here. If you are not familiar with stillin then in my signature is a couple of good sites to start.

Re: New stillen
Not exactly sure what you're asking but if I were to build another it would be a SS keg in a heartbeat.Hillbillyman wrote:Sheet copper are a beer keg what comes first

Keg is truly really, really, forgiving
easy to work with, do anything you want,
talk bad to them, put them down, call them names,
Like I said really forgiving.
Do the happy keg dance

Re: New stillen
SS keg is the best route....unless you have other options available to you.....

Re: New stillen
What cleaning? I rinse with water and let it dry. You need copper in the process for sulfide removal one way or the other. In the boiler, not so much.Hillbillyman wrote:What did u make it out of. I hav good copper skills from work But ss vs copper cleaning which is easier

Re: New stillen
I can't find help
Re: New stillen
All the help you need is here, mostly in the form of research. Go through the forums looking at other builds, figure out what you like and make something that works for you! With copper skills as you stated it should be very easy!
This is the most rewarding hobby I have ever experienced, and would never give it up!

Well, between Scotch and nothin', I suppose I'd take Scotch. It's the nearest thing to good moonshine I can find.

Re: New stillen
if yer asking how to post a picture of yer rig... get a digital camera. set it to take an "email sized picture" in the setup menu. take the picture and transfer it to your computer and save it to "desktop". name it "still" so it's easier to find.
open the forum. on the page where you "post a reply" look right below the text window and click on the tab that is labelled "upload attachment" when you see "choose file", click that. when the new window opens find the desktop, then the still photo then click "insert"
then click "submit" when i'ts done.
apologies if i misunderstood your request for help "How do I show me build and where do I show it"
i believe you may also post you build in http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=32
or in
http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=17
but this is your thread, so go nuts, and post it here!
