I am a newcomer to your forum and I have been distilling for a number of years with pot still. Mostly I was distilling a local version of Hooch called Mampoer, a distillate mainly from fruit. I have now acquired a Turbo 500 column still, and think it is time to move to more sophisticated products ig. Brandy Whiskey etc.
I found your website an enormous help, but I am still stuck on a couple of techniques, of which I will enquire later.

Welcome Bootlegger+10! You've come to the right place to make almost anything you could desire.
Good luck, stay safe, have fun!
If you want to make brandy or whiskey then you already have the best tool for the job - your pot still. The Turbo 500 column is best used to make neutral spirits - vodkas - and some members have expressed concern over the materials used for the seals and end caps etc. Please make sure there are no rubber or silicon parts and you should be ok.Bootlegger+10 wrote:I am a newcomer to your forum and I have been distilling for a number of years with pot still.

Re: Newcomer
Welcome to HD. When you get the chance please share your recipe for the Manpoer. I have a lot of fruit around here that Id like to do something with this summer before it all goes to the birds and raccoons. I hear Manpoer also makes good mosquito repellant.
