Day one of a new community always looks bleak, but if you're a distiller or just distilling-curious, join the firewater community and watch us grow!

Hello fellow distillers and potential ex-reddit users. This is the new space on Lemmy for all things distilling!

Hopefully we can grow the community and learn this new Lemmy thing together.

The space is looking pretty bare, but with some help, it'll be home in no time. Here's a pick of my setup to make it look less bare. It's a reflux still from AliExpress sitting on top of a grainfather. The needle valves that it came with are rubbish and need replacing, as I can't close the reflux condenser all the way anymore. Regardless of its flaws I still love it and it can produce some tasty (tasteless) vodka.

I built a stand for my (new to me) drill press! Everything is nice and square, and I'm really proud of the result. And then I put it on my not so flat garage floor... And the locking casters aren't all that effective anymore. It's also pretty wobbly. Any tips for placing movable tool stations on wonky floors? Smoothing the floor sounds like too much work!

I started a knitting a jumper an embarrassingly long time ago (over 2 years ago). I've picked it up again and it's looking like I haven't got enough yarn. It's Dooish worsted weight yarn: https://www.skeinsisters.com.au/spinning-yarns-weaving-tales-dooish

Its looking like I'm going to need to buy an additional skein years after the initial lot. I'm hoping for some advice for how to best join a new ball from a new batch number without a glaringly obvious line due to a slightly different colour. I'm knitting neck down on circular needles, and am halfway down the body. Would starting the arms in the new ball look fine?

Help a scared novice knitter out please!
