Hello Everyone!

Post by Vashine »

Hey everyone just wanted to introduce my self a little I am new to distilling but hopefully with the wealth of knowledge on this forum ill be to produce a fine product! I have a 100qt/20Gal brewing kettle I have modified slightly now I need to start looking for something to hold the worm in and find out what size about should the worm barrel be? I would guess at least half the size of the pot but still have to do my research anyway, May you all have a blessed holiday what ever you may celebrate :wave:
