Hi guys,
Thought I'd stick my head in here, I've always brewed beer and wine since I was young. Started AG brewing 10 years or so back...I went to our local home brew shop a few years ago and he had a Airstill for sale. We got talking about distilling our own vodka and the like...so we went home that day with one.
I did what the "instructions" said...we finished up with this so called vodka.. .we drank it to start with, then I found a UK forum and joined. I read all I could and there was a great PDF file about using an Airstill for a double distill.
This was like a light going on somewhere...first a strip run then a spirit run... nothing like this in the "instuctions".
Next item on my list was a 25 litre boiler, a T500....I've made a 2" copper pothead to fit, which runs well...but now it's time to move up to the next step on the ladder, so I've ordered a 2x4x2 topedo...I'm now going to take my time and read all I can on here. ;)

Welcome @Icefever!
We are very happy to have you here! Perhaps you can share some beer brewing recipes with us? StillDragon is not only about spirits... ;)
As for your Torpedo: you will see: it is a powerful tool! The beauty of modular is: upgrade is always possible (and affordable).
Happy distilling! :-h

I guess @Icefever already knows his ways around on our website. ;)
Adding one of our Torpedo config to an existing still is quite a popular option here in Europe, so there speaks nothing against starting small and step by step. Of course the Baby Crystal Dragon would be a perfect fit to put on top of a T500 with our weldless bulkhead fitting, that's definitely to keep in mind for later on. Have fun around here, plenty of useful info and really nice people around. :)

Hi and welcome, the Baby Dragon runs sweet above a torpedo.
