New to Home Distiller

[Mechanical110]

I'm a mechanical engineer that retired as a power plant manager a couple of years ago after 35 years in the industry. Before retirement, I began distilling with a 26 gallon 6 plate column still. I've learned a lot from Home Distiller, and I've still made plenty of mistakes, mostly small and none safety related (coming out of the power gen industry, safety is a core value to me). With that said, I really look forward to interacting with you all in the near future.

Welcome to the forum, did you buy or build your still?

Welcome aboard man. We would love to see a picture of your rig. Have fun and stay safe.

Thanks for the welcomes. I bought the 26 gallon still as a complete assembly, but later bought a 13 gallon bain marie boiler, to which I've done a of modifications, including designing an building a tri-clamp mounted mixer. I'm now converting to lava rock column packing. The next time I assemble for a run, I'll post a photo.
