Hey everyone. I use to distill when I was in mytwenties but i used a water distiller. Now I taken up a recent interest in it again, aswell as friends encouragming me to and I though mabey a good way to spread some christmas cheer. I built my First still ( real still ) last week. first run couple days ago. still in progress as the bucket isnt finished. Built from a stailness pressure cooker. but I gues thats getting into the My frist run TOpic.

Welcome to HD. Pressure cookers are frowned upon due to synthetic seals. Read and follow everything I told Tsukasa to do here

Cranky, I read through all the info when I first started but I have to say, your post would have made it go a lot quicker and a lot easier. I think a lot more people will actually do research before starting having a sort of "glossary" to go from!

That's pretty much the point of that post, I feel it will help a lot of people avoid common mistakes.
