You're honoured, Justin - Mike Nixon's the "main man" for distillation, you couldn't possibly get better advice. You should check out his new book "The Compleat Distiller": http://www.amphora-society.com/The_Compleat_Distiller/the_compleat_dis tiller.html And then, if you also check those links I gave you previously, you'll avoid reinventing the wheel (or failing to).
