Welcome to the forum Lucky 
I'm only just starting to understand what the hell goes on inside a still thanks to the guys on here. I'm now making something that's worth drinking at last.

Got any rubbish wine ? In the air still, in a bottle with some oak chips etc......

Re: Welcome to the forums!
Hello Ladies and Gents, I'm Neil from down here in the Southwest of the UK. I have owned an airstill for nearly two years and I came across this site earlier today.
I have been using the still to the instructions since I bought it and have it going as I type. All this heads and tails distilling is new to me and its obvious that I have been missing out on something so I have plenty to read up on from the forum threads.
No doubt there will be plenty of question to follow so I will post once I have had a good look around.
All the best
Neil

Hi Neil..Welcome to the forum...same here mate, I joined back in Nov.

Re: Welcome to the forums!
Thanks for the welcome Icefever, nice to meet you mate.
I know what you mean about smelling like nail polish. I can see that the members on here really know their stuff, and it will be great to learn from them.
I'm already thinking about my first grain mash so I think I better start learning the basics.

The nail polish smell is acetone. Most of it should come off in the fore shots.

Cheers Chill...I only found that out by joining this forum and reading/talking to you guys, otherwise I'd still be using my airstill like the book said
and drinking the crap..
