We get a lot of people hitting this site from the search engines with queries such as ‘How do I make alcohol with my SmartStill?’. The short answer is that you can’t. But don’t despair! The good news is, you don’t actually need to. To understand why, you need to understand the process of alcohol distillation – here is a guide that tells you everything you need to know to make spirits with your SmartStill or EasyStill.
StillCooker is a site about building your own still and producing your own alcohol. It has some great pictures of various types of still, information about building your own, how to make a moonshine wash, safety tips, and lots more useful information – check it out!

In their own words :
Infusions of Grandeur is a blog of vodka infusions and mad science. Your hosts, renowned mad scienticians Brendan and Wayland, begin an experiment each week, infusing vodka with a new flavor. We began this blog in December 2006, and before that point, we had never attempted to create an infused vodka before.
We are learning about infusions through experiments, research, and the kind suggestions of our readers. By blogging every step of the process, we hope to teach others to create their own infusions (and hopefully entertain them in the process).
In my words :
Two silly men make lots of drinks with vodka, some good and some bad. Great attention to detail, loads of pictures and a suitably scientific style mean that this is both an amusing and useful resource.
Hi everyone! This is just to let you know that we have setup an Amazon store featuring lots of books and other items that may be of interest to the home distiller. I must point out that we are not selling these ourselves, we just collected the Amazon items into one place for your convenience. However, we do get a small commission if you buy through our store, which goes towards supporting this site.
Here is the link – enjoy your shopping!
After our recent article about preventing the top popping loose on your SmartStill/EasyStill, I’ve received some more detailed information about the issue. It seems that all stills now come with a set of Raschig rings, as I recommended earlier. If you have one of the older models, then my advice to purchase some for yourself is still valid.
