Home Distiller

Just wanted to show my face and say hello to all you guys and gals here. After about 3 years of brewing beer, I have just purchased my first pot/reflux still. Ive dabbled a little here and there with some small homemade stills that I just threw together. Now I'm ready to really put in some time an hope to gain some great knowledge and experience with all you guys. I'll b the buggy one asking all the questions!! As of now, whiskey is what I like!! So hello!!

Welcome aboard, I'm from farnorcal. It's always good to have another norcal guy to ad to the insanity around hear.

Welcome to HD, what still did you purchase?

I really don't know to much about the difference in stills yet, but I went with this
hillbillystills 8_Gallon_Copper_Moonshine_Still.
Any thoughts on this??

It's a good rig for rum and whiskey and I assume that's what your going for. It will do you well.

Welcome paradactal,

I got my still from there too, and it does very nicely for bourbon, rye, and rum.

What kind of setup do you have for mashing?

Haven't really got a setup worth speaking of. Just have been using 10 g coolers. In hoping that will change. What kind of setup do you have MitchyBourbon?

All electric, 26 gal milk can and10 gal blichmans.

Welcome, nice choice of rig. Just spent a couple weeks in Northern California- real pretty and cooler than Texas this time of year.

Welcome. I am fellow Nor Cal guy and new to these forums. A LOT of great info and knowledge here!
