Yup ! peeps are often amazed that spirits are so easily made. They presume because they're expensive to buy, they must be hard to make.......

What amazes them even more is that you can make neutral/vodka, then use a flavouring essence and still make something that tastes better than commercially produced stuff.........

Totally agree, I now make better beers than I can buy and spirits...... Regardless of the money saving they taste better...

There are posts way back in the history of this site which say the same as I am going to state.
The nice thing about the air still/smart still is the fact that it can be "lost" amongst kitchen paraphernalia.
I have always referred to mine as the "Coffee Maker",Bread maker would work too,leaving you to hide the thing in plain sight.
I have run mine in full,unintended view and presence of the nosy neighbour from hell,who had no idea what was happening,merely remarking upon the nice smell that came from my wood burner...
Despite building myself a larger version,there is no way that I would wish to part with the clever bit of kit that got me back into home distilling.
It gets the occasional use,especially for gin.

There is no ONE way.
