Whats up guys?

Post by Ky_backwoods »

Whats up? New guy here going by Ky_backwoods. I am just now getting into my own distilling. We just recently bought a stainless steel 15 gallon stock pot. Today I went and got 15ft of 1/2in copper tubing. Will that be enough to condense the whiskey? Or do we need 20ft? Well glad to be here!!

Welcome to HD ky_backwoods, 15 gallon stock pot, now that's a dandy!!! 15ft should be plenty just depends on how ya configure it.
Sometimes I wonder why is that Frisbee getting bigger......and then it hits me.

Thanks for your reply! Yeah, we sunk some money and bought the 15 gallon pot. We figured we needed to go decent size or go home! Haha. But I think I'm going to go get 20ft instead of 15ft. Just a little bit of insurance to make sure no vapor escapes!! I will post pics of our setup once it's up and built. I just got the pot in the other day and the tubing today. We just need some elbows and such and we will be good to go!!
