Re: just a noob
Welcome to HD moons -- that's the rig I got started with. That rig taught me an awful lot -- the least of which was patience. If you learn your craft your little rig will produce top-notch liquor, albeit in small quantities. I'd be surprised if you don't have an upgrade in your future.
good luck

Re: just a noob
Thanks and i'd like to well specify a little better upon my rig I plan to build.
Well it was going to be 12-16 quart ss pot depending on price. The main colomn was going to be out of 1inch copper connecting to a 90 then the lye arm was about 3 inches then into a 45 fitting to 12 inch arm.I have the option to run on a hot plate or turkey burner but i thought that a hot plate would be safer. Like i said above i will run a half inch worm. I would like to produce some "corn whiskey" just because i feel you need to start with that just in tradition and also to pay a little respect to Popcorn; but in the future would like to make a lite rum with brown sugar and molasses. Any idea how long to run 2.5 gallons on a single run with this set up?
Thanks guys
