Hi all,
I’m a 60 something woman who was enticed to the hobby by Moonshiners and Master Distiller. I understand reality TV is really just entertainment but I was intrigued. We (my wife and I), asked questions and learned enough to begin with a 5 gallon pot still and a thumper. After the nightmare of keeping our first run (sugar wash) cool we designed and built a cooling system using siphon from a 50 gal barrel of cool water and a return with a small electric pump along with ball valves to control the flow. We have done 6 runs so far (2 sugar, 2 corn/6 row and 2 corn/2row). We are very safety minded and are really enjoying learning a new craft.
Thank you for an invaluable web site and forum…..

Some of it is outdated but most of the basics are correct .
Welcome Diane,
Having a dedicated 'stilling buddy' is a luxury indeed, and you two should make great strides in improving your craft together. The great majority of us should be so lucky. Enjoy the journey!“Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore, always carry a small snake.”
