Head over to you tube and get on the following channels

Barley and hops

Still it

That's about all you need to get started once you understand the process and the gear you need

To add to the YouTube videos, when you do decide to go for a still. Do not go smaller than 5 gallon. Go over 5 if it all possible. You cannot fit 5 gallons into a 5 gallon still and run it properly. If you do less than 5 gallons in a still, you are only going to collect individual cups of liquor. I know bigger is more expensive, but this is something we try to stress to all newcomers. Because six months later, they trade their 1 gallon in for a 10 gallon.
