New but older. New build first ever post.
I have been reading this forum for over 7 years. 7 years ago I purchased equipment and made all the newbie mistakes. But years ago u decided to take the hobby seriously and build my own equipment. I am proud to have built my first sub pot from copper.

Congratulations.
I've been thinking of building that style of setup for over thirty years and never gotten around to it so have probably left it too late now.
I wish you well on your journey down the rum rabbit hole.
Cheers, (raises a nice glass of rum made by a new distiller about eight years ago.)

Welcome to the forum Had.
7 years is a long time in the dark, but I'm sure you've learned a thing or two!
I'm really looking forward to seeing, and reading about your sub still.
