the thing bout buying one already made, is they have to let the feds know who they sold it to, much cheaper to make your own, soldering is simple.

They sell those under the pretense it's going to be used to distill alcohol for fuel which you can get a permit for.

I did buy my clamps and gaskets from those guys and other odds and ends but not the still. you can buy a tower and clamp it to the keg.

Clawhammer leaves it up to you, they don't get involved other than a generic disclaimer: https://www.clawhammersupply.com/pages/legal-stuffAccording to federal rules, stills of any size are legal to own if not being used, nor intended to be used, to produce alcohol. In other words, if a still is only being used to distill, filter, or purify water or to make something like essential oils, and these actions do not involve the distillation of alcohol, a still of any size is legal to own.

Any good diagrams of how to set up a small still along with family recipes? How exactly does a thump keg work and does it improve the quality? I built mine from a 16-gallon keg. buddy built a couple more. Some of my friends have reflux column setups sorta like that. I stay away from the product they end up with.

Cleaning a still is pretty easy—if you make your cuts properly you’ll have lots of high proof feints to sterilize.

STX, Does that condenser do a good job of knocking down the vapor?

the main thing is making your cuts, which takes a little practice. stuff we make will not give you a hangover, might still wake up with a buzz but you won't feel bad or have a headache.

The reason commercial whisky gives you a hangover is they don't cut it as much so they get more volume and leave more impurity's in it and that's why you have a headache and feel like chit. Also, the reason the company men liked it, wouldn't wake up hungover.

Back around 89, I went to web county, Larado area with another buddy who was a flooring installer also, he was a chicken fighter as well. We had barely enough money to get there, he ended up winning sixty thousand dollars at that derby.
