Hi, I had these two recommended to me by JB (thanks, JB).
"Making Gin & Vodka" by Jon Stone
"The Compleat Distiller" by by Michael Nixon & Michael McCaw
These are great books for anyone just starting out or even experienced distillers. They cover just about anything you would need to properly build and run a still designed for just what you would like to make. The Compleat Distiller also includes a good history of the different types of stills, how they are made, how well they work, and what they are good at producing. I highly recommend them both.

Hi Scotty,
Where you are a tinkerer you would like "The Compleat Distiller". It covers all aspects of all still types. You might get some more ideas :)

Nice read. Lots of interesting switches. I have an automatic dual voltage switch that has been working for a couple of years. I hope tha eventually i will add a dual element control to it-- No electrical plans so far. RSCs and possibly a SSVR are the in things now. The RSC is a triac device and i believe that the SSVR is also although i have not been able to find any wiring diagram for its innards. Wickapedia has nice diagrams and explanations for standard SSRs if anyone is interested.
