Pot stills bring over more flavor. Reflux stills are more for producing a nuetral spirit. You can make vodka with a reflux, but you can't really make a good whisky with a reflux.

I'm sorry, but please,, search around, I know this is the novice section but the question has been asked many times and is sufficiently explained on homedistiller.org. The question has been answered in great detail on this forum, please, for the sake of my sanity, search the forum.

In essence, yes. But defcon4 was right. You should really search a lot more. I read on this site alone for over 3 months before asking a single question. It pays off too as you might read something you wouldn't have throught to ask and save yourself a huge headache by learning the hard way. And even more importantly, you might save yourself from getting hard.

The search feature is a bit tricky though to find excatly what you want.
Save the following link to your computer and use it to search for more detailed information in the forums. It uses google so you can search for a phrase instead of just individual words.

Plus people will be more likely to help you if you show you have done research on your own first.

Or you could even just eyeball the topic titles below this one. There's two others there with the exact same title asking the exact question and getting the same answer, one of em's just six topics down....
