I was pleased at the ease of set up, and simple, clear instructions. After assembly I did a preasure test with water, wich went perfectly. I plan to reduce some wine to sherry today to get the feel of a real run. I will be making rice vodka, apple jack and moonshine. I also plan to use it to remove the alcohol from herbal tinctures to create a full extract oil.i can't wait to explore the options this product has to offer.
