Building a still in poland

It it possible to have your own still in Poland legally. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on making one I have a n old water tank sitting over the open fire and i have a copper line from the top of it. I am just wonderingin if the 1/4" lin is the right size and if it should be coiled to promote cooling quicker . Any help here you polish scientists

yes, coiling surely helps with cooling.. i am pretty sure still aren't leagal but if you ask around people make batches in their tubs.

I'm afraid you can't legally produce your moonshine in Poland:
Sąd (Najwyższy) orzekł, iz: "Znamiona przestępstwa z art. 12a ust.1 ustawy z dnia 2 marca 2001 roku o wyrobie alkoholu etylowego oraz wytwarzaniu wyrobów tytoniowych wypełnia również wyrabianie alkoholu etylowego na własny użytek."

I can't translate it literally, but The Supreme Court stated that producing ethyl alcohol (apparently your booze is considered as ~40% ethanol) even for your own needs has got indications of a crime.

Edit:
Some people however make their own liquor, but don't boast about it :) You can even legally buy a still.

Bartolome ! do you know how I could contact purchasing one ? It may be better than the parts I have I see it is not legal any where So it will have to be disguised as a steam engine experiment. Thank you for your assistance!

Sorry mate, but I live in the UK. I know that in a town neighbouring to my home village was (still is ?) a shop where you could buy such a device. I can't be of much help in that matter.

I have googled it but not much good has come of it . If you here a loud bang over there and see alarge metal tank flying by . You will know where it came from!

My grandma made corn whiskey during Prohibition out here. My aunt refused to let me take that still, drat it! Thought it would be pretty as a fish tank. ;>

My grandmother got through the depression this way. Too bad you lost a family heirloom. The US government took ours!

:( Not fun at all! I wonder if my cousin kept it, when my aunt died...I'd sure like it, still.

I am plannning on making one to make drinking water.

To distill the crud out of the drinking water? What, is it well water?

Yes it is well water I had it tested and it is safe. It is heavy in Iron though and has some natural gas in it. I just will not get used to the taste.

Bleh, the methane would give it a nasty taste!

Look out for cheap welds too. In a rush, tanks were sometime welded with lead solder(thxplk). This can seep into your water/liquor. Test it for lead first.

There's a problem with moonshiners getting lead disease

that's because they tend to use car radiators which are... you guessed it.. soldered beside the glycol contmaination.

o.O That is disgusting, unhealthy beyond compare. I feel sorry for those who died from it, nasty death.

One good thing about the methane is I also have a deep gas well that supplies the house and all my needs with an expensive natural resource I get for free. Total utility bill per month is Electric only $ 57 dollars US

A year on outintheyard. So did you ever assemble the still?

Maybe some pictures would help.
