I need advice from all the wise, experienced, and possibly a little snockered folk on this sub reddit. I bought a Vevor alcohol still off Amazon as I heard it was a good place to start for a first still. 3gal, capacity with thumper keg. Problems are, it's not compatiable with my induction cooktop despite the manufacturer saying it was, the condenser coil wasn't fully shaped, and the bottom of the still pot is slightly domed so it doesn't sit right. Basically, I'm returning that POC and want to know where else I might be able to find a good first time still. Don't want one of those electric "water distillers." Any advice anyone has short of buying copper sheet and building my own would be great.

Has anyone tried or even thought of using deer feed sugar beats as a mash?

I want to start one, and i just want to start up making my own product, then when it get profitable, I can probably hire employees.
