Hey Greybeard,
Welcome to the forum.They're a friendly bunch around here.
I wish I was lucky enough to be living the dream like you.
Could I suggest that you look into making a simple pot still.
(If your not handy you could always ask a retired plumber you'd inevitably run into)
They are very simple and can be attached to the lid of your Big pot that you use for pasta/rice/silverside.
I can understand the air still is easy to use,quiet,safe and discrete and those advantages are really apealing.
A pot still (besides the pot you are already carrying) takes up very little storage space,appears quite benign, weighs a lot less than an air still and will give you more flexibility with you stilling (most would say a better product as well)
A pot still can be run on electric or gas or even a well tendered fire (I'm sure you'd put us all to shame with your firesmithery)
The cooling water does not have to be potable and can be town water or pumped by 240v/12v or even gravity if your crafty enough. Hey you could catch it in a container and use it to have a warm bath when your done :)
You could be out in the sticks away from everyone and not tied to being in a caravan park or showground to " Russel up a drop"
I'm going to float off now, dreaming of being you, with a small barrel of wiskey in the back somewhere bumping up and down for thousands of miles aging away...........making some of the smoothest booze in the country.
