New to grainfather pot still and having issues getting 220v outdoors, does anyone use the grainfather or any other electric still indoors. I read the beginners book and they say no but wondering of they are taking in to account it is electric and not propane.
 
I think the main concern when running a still indoors is the potential to build up explosive levels of ethanol vapor. Good ventilation is a must if you are going to distill indoors. If you are using fire to heat your still, then you also have to worry about the potential for carbon monoxide accumulation, but that's moot with electric.

Brew on :mug:
