Long-time Lurker, Now First-time Still Builder

[GrdnVrtyDstllr]

Hi All,

I've been lurking here for sometime while I've distilled with friends' 25 litre still. I'm making bourbon and decided I need a bigger still to make any real progress on building up an inheritance for my children.

I've got a few questions about the build (two old 100 litre copper hot water tanks, one for the boiler, one for the thumper), so figured I should finally make an account.

Here's a pic of my soon-to-be boiler, corn mill, white oak stash (behind the corn mill), plate chiller. If the images display on my first attempt, I feel like I'll have missed a rite of passage. If they don't display, some uploading advice would be welcome.

*edit - Removed photobucket links. Thanks Yummy.
