One run will make enough for around 12 ltrs of 40% spirit which would cost you ... to buy from a bottle shop. So it only takes your 2nd run…

I do like the fermzillas except for the shape and size for cold crashing (fitting in the fridge) which has shown impressive results for…

I get what ypur saying. Making neutral spirit and pouring a flavour in sounds boring no art or talent required like making a bottle of soda…

Another factor with copper it will absorb sulphates but then you need to clean the sulphates off the copper. Stainless never needs cleaning…
28/11/2023 - 09:37
Copper is also very soft and easily dented and damaged. I prefer stainless steel if your buying a still it will be 304 grade ss which is…
28/11/2023 - 08:59
Copper can be beneficial in a traditional pot still and it is used on some reflux stills. But you don't need to have copper on a reflux…
28/11/2023 - 08:49
It's mostly very low cost equipment except for the still. But a stainless steel still virtually lasts forever, there are copper and alloy…
