I personally have not home-distilled. I have seen it done but never have I distilled myself. With the advent of these new electric brewing systems where you can but a still top for them, I wanted to talk to someone about what you would need to get started. Then I asked George Duncan of Barley and Hops Brewing on YouTube to join us and talk about what you would need to get started. We also talked about the cool hydrometer he built for the blind using and Arduino. It is super cool.
