Been reading on the forums for quite a while. Learned a ton already, been busy trying to recipes and trying to hone the craft. Been through a couple different stills already....just started last Nov. Started off with an Amazon purchase, stove top still. Worked good, but I felt like I needed more. Searched around and got a Digiboil and bought a column/condenser off of Ebay. Pretty happy with the setup, but I needed more control over the amount of power going into the boiler. Ended up buying an 8gl milk can boiler with an electric element. Then a speed controller to control the amount of power going into the pot....much happier with this setup. Been able to produce some great spirits that I'm happy with. Just looking to learn more and bounce ideas off of other members.

Up in Scottsdale. I saw your post about looking to register your still.....I looked a little into that, but that was about it.

Nice! I was just up that way last weekend getting another keg.

Dude! I'm still looking into it, the verbiage is so vague...

Seems the laws and enforcement are pretty lax here. Don’t ask don’t tell!! Lol
