Basic overview of making spirits ( in theory )

Would that not be a legal reason

[Chris]

Only if you are caught.

As the saying goes for anything like this:

Its only illegal if you get caught

[KEG]

It will take up most of the sink area, there is a little bit of rank smell when filling and emptying the still and if you no what you are doin there is practically no danger, just dont touch it while it is turned on cos it gets very hot and make sure it is on a heat resistent surface

keeping in mind, of course, that the product of the still is highly flammable.

i'd definitely use an electric element rather than open flame.

[lethaldog]

Yep me to

[skurvy84]

so has anyone brought one of those electric stills? like the EZ still that is on the brewcraft website?

i'm trying to find a review of recommendation but its hard to find anything because no one talks about it in OZ...

I bought one of those Air Stills a couple of months ago (for distilling essential oils of course) and I've put about 6 batches through it. They've all come out pretty good. I've never really tried home distilled stuff so I can't give you a comparison but it's certainly tastes alright to me.

It's simple to use and easy to clean so I'm happy with my purchase.

The reason nobody mentions it or talks about it because it is illegal.
I have a Essencia unit. it is electric and completly safe, give me a great product as well.
If you want any info..just Pm me.
