i just spent the last 2 days striping down a 25 litre wash. i got short of 7 litres of 50% abv ready to be put through for a spirits run.

i bought the easy still cause i wanted to get my feet wet.

i'm going to be building an all copper reflux still with my dad in a month or 2 when i get a good grip on the concept of distilling.

I don't know why this forum is big in canada....i guess knowledge and a good group of people travel fast!

i'm glad to be part of the team.

i look forward to learning loads more and having a great time.

Cheers!

Welcome........

If you run it the once, it does the job. If you then let the spirit down to 40% or less and run it again, it'll do about 80 to 85% ABV no problem.

Not the quickest way of course, reflux stills will do a whole 25 litre batch in the same time it takes to run an airstill batch twice, to a higher strength, but if small amounts produced nice and discretely are your goal, then bingo, that's what you'll get.......

Welcome aboard Drewzy, it appears we're big in Canada.

The Airstill is a lovely machine that works well and does a good job if used right

Hello all!

Drewzy here from Ontario, Canada.

I've been reading the forums here heavily over the last couple week after finding the site through a google search on the airstill.

I've purchased it a few days ago and am sitting infront of it at the momment watching my second strip run drip beautifully into my glass collection jar...what a wonderful sight!

i'm brand new to distilling but am about a year old into home brewing. I currently make all grain beers, wine from grapes and now my own likker!

i'm hoping to make a home for myself here when it comes to distilling and i hope i can be of some assitance as well.

Cheers!

Drewzy
