Has anybody built a special building just for your still? I have been thinking of a faux "outhouse" kind of thing to keep the still and burner in. It could be sorta of a "double seater" with a shelf instead of a seat. Still on one side of the seat, condensor on the other side. Then fermenter under the "shelf". Any thoughts? I just thought it would look cool from the outside, would hide the still, and keep the mess outside the house.

Hmm...so why you smoke in the outhouse? Just kidding!

I haven't gone so far as a separate building but I have more than a few ideas about hiding in plain sight.

I still on my back porch most of the time, and a nosy neighbor could possibly see me. I use a keg over gas. I now have a SS Gas grill, on casters, that has died. It is perfectly the correct size to hide a turkey burner and a keg in. The grill will make a great wind shield for the whole setup. And who would question a propane bottle setting next to a grill.

If I were to build something along the lines you suggest, I would make it look like a small smoke house for meats. Maybe even smoke some meat in it.

Like mine in my avatar?

I would need more like a 10 seater to hold all my crap. I mean stuff.

look to see what would "fit into" the surroundings"

An outhouse couldn't fit much better than beside my little cabin!

That sound pretty "unnoticeable"! Great idea sinceyou have the grill anyway.
