I bought my kit from. “American copper works”. 15gallon kit. The price was good, but I don’t think that I got all the parts. It also took around 12 weeks to get it. I’ll post some pics soon.

Kcole It would be good if you could start another thread and post some photos of the kit you have bought for us to look at.
I for one would be interested to see the quality of what you have got in the kit.
There was a complaint about the same supplier on this forum only a week or so ago.
If poor quality and / or bad service is going to be a regular part of that suppliers business style we would like to know.

Welcome to HD.

This hobby really is not so much about making alcohol. But bottling opportunities to make memories with Friends and Family.

Welcome, and I second Saltbush Bills post. If they are as bad as it appears with customer service we need to make our members aware.
