http://homedistiller.org/forum/index.phpThe above link is where I started. I read and read and read until I had enough info to get started. It took me some time to decide on what kind of still I would get my hubby to build. We chose a very primitive potstill rather than a column. Made it out of a 4 quart pot, a mixing bowl and copper of course.
Authorities generally don't bother you if they don't know you exist. So:
-I don't sell the stuff
-I don't make great quantities
-I don't rub anyone's nose in the fact that I occasionally run a batch.
It's more of a curiosity than anything. I refer to the shine as fingernail polish remover. It is wicked!!!
