Introduction

Hello from Alberta, Canada. New to distilling, my wife and I own a wine making store, and have been making wine and beers, so technically been making brandy from the wine kits I suppose. With our store, I have access to lots of different oak- chips and cubes and stick of various toast levels, so I am excited to fool around with some of that.
Hoping to tap into the wealth of knowledge here and catching up on the mandatory reading before I ask any dumb questions. I look forward to getting better and trying out new stuff.
Just started off with little Amazon still to experiment and fool around. Haven't even used the thumper yet.

Thanks for having me.

If it is ...... and I'm right , then what you have is a still with a "slobber box", not a thumper.
The folk who build some of those cheaper stills don't know shit bout stillin or stills.

Welcome and good luck. I have an Amazon still (not the one SBB posted) and very much like it to the point I am about to buy a larger and more modular version from them. Let us know which one you have.
