Is their women distillers ? I ask because of some of the screen names , or more security , identity deal, not to sound sexist and I apologize if I do but it doesn't really seem like a hobby women would be into as most gals are naturally more cautious legally speaking ? Any thoughts
And again I apologize ahead of time for sounding sexist it is not my intent,

Although we don't worry about the legal aspect my wife did 2 out of three runs yesterday. And is one of just a few women distillery owners in the country.

Thanks wood shed , my wife helps me a lot to mostly gettin setting up and tear down an cleanup an of course taste tester seein how I chew Copenhagen and figure my taste buds are off having a mouth full of chaw all day , so y'all own your own distillery ? That's cooool as hell I one day would like to aswell but kinda spensive and we have been nomatic the last 10 yr , would you care to tell me about the stills you use?
Thanks much

The one we have that fit's within the parameters on this site is a 26 gal 4 plate from a company who has fallen out of favor here and I have been asked not to mention. Love the still but will not buy from them again having learned what I have about their business.
The other two, one pot and another reflux do not meet HD parameters.
Just cranked up our facebook page and will be adding more photos of all our equipment when we can.

The whole fallen out of favor thing seems to be quite prevalent , I have asked a few questions on retailers and usually get a one answer and the topic gets locked, lol and I thought I pissed people off hahaha!

There's women members here. And there's women pretending to be men as part of their cover and vise-versa. There might even be a hermaphrodite or two - don't know.

Just sayin',

As S-Cack has stated we have several women members here, one that comes to mind is Corene1. You should check out her build, she is not only a distiller but very capable welder and fabricator. I also have a future daughter-in-law who is becoming a very capable distiller. Throughout History women have become famous as distillers do a google search you may be very surprised.

my ex controled everything except my kids and alcohol.

"hey baby, lets save those tails for later use"
"Hey gorgeous, wanna see what happens after you get off the heads?"
"Lets put that on some wood and see what happens..."

A few years ago we had a few very active ladies on the forum, one from Europe that stands out in my mind. I know when it comes to cuts my wife's senses are much better than mine, at least they were when I first started this hobby I can now say mine have improved tremendously.

You know HD now has a craft distillers section now which you probably share what equipment you have there.

Thanks for all the replies , I guess I might have been narrow minded theirs a lot of gal brewers in my area so to think gals weren't into stillin I guess on my part was stuuuuupid ! Lol

Bushman - same here if I had question hey wifey haha, but I agree I can start to smell the heads in store bought it kinda pisses me off knowing what I know now lol

Doogie - hahaha funny shit rotflmao

Women brewers have an organization for those who are professionals called the Pink Boots Society.
Hopefully soon there will be one for distilling women as well.

Still better than the SHO at making cuts but she is catchin up. Her nose for the slightest nuance in the aged product is more refined than mine and has been verified by many outside sources. I'm guessing years of smoking took their toll on my finer olfactory senses. Gave it up 10 years ago but once the damage is done....

Ok you guys! Yes, I am a woman! I even have a birth certificate to prove it! I would post it but then you would know how old I am! I don't believe in the roles that society has mandated for men and women. I say if you want to try something just do it! Life is too short to miss out on something you want to do because you are a woman. Hey I can even cook and sew too!

One of my favorite sites is walking into the distillery and seeing a beautiful woman workin the run. I'm a lucky man.

I some times slip on the high heels and a nice Black dress while stilling, does that count?

Googe- to funny lol

Woodshed - nice

Corene - I totally agree with ya , an by no means was I meaning to offend any one an nor do I belive ability is gender based

All you guys worry too much about offending. I post with a smile on my face all the time. You guys always make me giggle. I am in no way a really serious person, unless something I did doesn't work.

And Googe, you will get a lot more accomplished in flats, but the heels will really make your calves look good. Gotta get rid of the hair though!

"Hey sweet thing, lemme check yer gravity"
"Yer a little crusty today lady, lets use some of my enzymes to increase your sweetness"

Dooge - love the commentary I thought I cracked ppl up but shit your fuuuuuuunnny ass shit thanks I needed that!!!

Corene - I'm pretty new here and it's easy for me to ruffle feathers hahaha that's why I'm a feild service tech I walk in in the morn' do my thing and leave them to stew hahaha , I think women that are go getters and willing to get the reins is great kinda sexy, its just a world right now that life an ppl are way to sensitive so idk I just don't want ppl pissed off for what I feel is nonsense causes I never judge a book by it cover and I have always been that way. So any way they said you had a nice rig you built how do I see it I've tried searching it ???

As I was saying life's too short to get grumpy. My still is nothing fancy just an old pot still but I like it and it works well. I have since gotten rid of the vice grips and installed really neat over centering clamps.

Super cool gal I am impressed !!nice !! got any future builds planned ?

I just looked again an this is what I love the most about this hobby and the beer an wine ingenuity resourcefulness and creativity!! It amazes me the vision y'all have nice !!

Good improvement to an already nice setup. Why be grumpy, eh?

Corene is one to follow on here, one of the few pushing the envelope on all grain whiskey recipe's, and doing careful experiments we can all learn from.

Is it weird that Im talking about you in 3rd person Corene HA! Hi!

I may be doing lots of experiments and learning as much as I can, but you have it wired. I always look to you for sound advice and inspiration! Hope all is going well in your end of the woods Jimbo.

Had a new thought today. Making my still modular. I think I want to build a plated column for it. I have tons of stainless but I really want to make it out of copper. I might even go crazy and polish it. Maybe not. Lots of research in my future for sure. I haven't built anything since my 6 oz. mini still!

Jimbo got a girlfriend Jimbo got a girlfriend nananana hehehe Sorry corene1 just hit me funny sippin ATM

AC

Any of us would be happy to have Corene1 for a girlfriend if we weren't already attached (speaking for myself only on the attached part ) . If i read her right she will walk behind no man and it is going to be an exceptional feller that can step fast enough to walk beside her . Highest praise I can give her .

That would be a wicked little still with 2~3 plates Corene!.
