Welcome to the forum, for advice on what to do you can do no better than going here.

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1216&start=75#p9758

go to the first post in that topic and download the guide called Airstill Brief SS.pdf read and follow that and you'll get good results from your Airstill.

Aidan, sorry I copied your last post to save time.

thanks for the info, is there anywhere I can get basic recipes just to get started, I have been told water, yeast and tomato puree!! but I want just to get started, but I would like to try original recipes rather than shop bought ones, any ideas?
thanks

What I've done is to settle on Vodka Star yeast for the foreseeable future.

That way, my ferments are constant apart from seasonal temp changes and it let me get a 'McJob' system of double distillation going asap and my cuts are now routine.
