Good day from the French part of Canada (although my English is not too bad)
I have to confess, I'm late to join! Moonshining is not so popular in my region so I've been using this forum as a resource for quite a while! I've been distilling for more than 10 years now with all kinds of machines and recipes (my first was an old air-cooled water distiller from the 80's I found on craigslist

.. I soon stepped up to kegs and columns and then had to try the T500 and learned to master it for Gin. Now I'm aiming to master rhum with a new still (my fifth over the years), then apple brandy, then whiski (maybe) !
Anyhow, thanks all for sharing so much insight and making this journey super interesting.
Bonjour voisin. That's it for my French. Welcome to the club
the more you keep to yourself the more "free" you will be and the more you will git away with.

Soit le bienvenu,
Bunch of people from Montreal and Ottawa around here. You are not alone
Shit I bought but shouldn't have :
1. Amazon 30L pot distiller
2. T-500 reflux column (good product but expensive)
3. Large 60L stock pot + 2" column
Now using 15.5gal KEG + 5500w electric + fully aircooled reflux condensor and product condenser.
Salut de la NÉ! Surprised to hear that moonshining is not popular up your way… I always imagined the woods of Québec full of modern-day coureurs des bois making moonshine from maple sap.
