Great video and a beautiful 15 gal still. I been making shine for a little longer than a year and I've learned so much from you and others like phillbilly.

[@StillnTheClear]

Thank you. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. It's a great hobby.

[@donniepowell7146]

Great video and it’s a learning curve when you’re doing something new.

[@StillnTheClear]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

[@Fire_And_Iron]

That’s a good looking still…I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for the final version.

[@StillnTheClear]

Yep. Adam does fantastic work.

[@copperstillco]

The lyne arm will come straight out so you can add a thumper. The still will likely come standard as traditional paste cap still with worm only. With Upgrade options to add thumper, add electric port and upgrade from paste style cap to 6” trip clamp.

Still'n The Clear, This made me laugh so much! Thanks for sharing!

[@StillnTheClear]

That's awesome. I'm glad you had a good time watching.

[@BeeKisses]

Good to see you back sir

[@StillnTheClear]

Thank you, thanks for watching.

[@killerbootz6306]

This is such a great video! So informative! Can’t wait to learn more from you :)

[@StillnTheClear]

It's great to hear that. I'm so glad you found it useful.

[@EpicValleysStill]

Cyrus!!!! That’s a pretty unit you all are making. Great info on the blue tint. It can be discerning the first time you see it.

[@StillnTheClear]

Thank you. We aren't finished yet. Thanks for the comment.

[@braddaratha8021]

I’m not sure if this has been asked before. I’m building my own out of a beer keg with a 10:22 copper column and copper Liebig condenser. Now should I do both runs ??

[@braddaratha8021]

Ignor 10:22

[@StillnTheClear]

yes

[@braddaratha8021]

@@StillnTheClear appreciate the reply. Thanks.

[@copperstillco]

To clarify. Those leak spots were areas that will always need teflon tape 😉 Not a leak in the solder joints ❤

[@StillnTheClear]

No certainly not the solder joints. A little Teflon on the threads solved it.

[@copperstillco]

@@StillnTheClearI jumped the gun and commented before finishing the video. It clarified itself lol Thanks for the great video !

[@StillnTheClear]

@@copperstillco I do the same thing all the time. 😂

[@MotoJB]

What do you put IN the sacrificial run? Would be helpful for the newbie's to give very detailed instructions. Thanks.

[@henrymiley1318]

I would love to have a 25 gallon one

[@StillnTheClear]

I'm sure Adam can hook you up. www.copperstillco.com

[@texasdave2147]

Copper stills are expensive,but WELL with it

[@StillnTheClear]

For sure.

[@cjcout99]

Are you putting ice in the water tank as it gets circulated? Once you guys get the whole new system worked out and all the kinks, you should go thru every aspect of the still (heat source and cleaning) and the condensing water (pump and temp). Have wanted to increase my still capacity, this might be the ticket. I don't like the plated style stills, only pot style. This looks great.

[@StillnTheClear]

No. I don't use ice. If the water gets too warm I just replace it with cold water. We will certainly keep updates of progress.

[@rogernichols9987]

What about a thumper

[@StillnTheClear]

The next iteration of the still will be designed so it can be run with or without a thumper.

[@copperstillco]

That’ll be incorporated in the final design 😎

[@user-ts7le4hq8b]

I hope they make that in electric

[@StillnTheClear]

Yes, In fact the one in the video has a 2" port on the side, but I forgot to mention it.

[@quarlow1215]

I dont understand why still manufacturers use those useless union connectors. Do yourself a favor and switch to sanitary fittings with Tri-clamps and silicone gaskets. They are quick to assemble and disassemble and you don't need tools. And they don't leak. But that's a very nice still for sure and they produce great liquor.
