I have been distilling for many years (ok about 15 years) so far from a guru but I enjoyed your video, some good info on cuts and also hit the safety points without sounding like a school teacher. I have used the freezer method to speed up my ageing, it really does seem to work well, great if you are low on drinking ready and want to speed some up. I tend to do 100lt batches and find I end up with a reasonable amount of product.

I hope I will get to this point in a reasonably short time all though I totally agree with you that I have to go through those "Growing Steps". you layed out. and I'll try to be smart and do that! I ordered one of those 50 liter Vevor stills and I'm planning to upgrade the cooling right away with a better (longer) coil and probably add a thumper that all seems simple enough, I'm pretty handy with pipe and solder and tinsnips and got all the tools so no issue there. Time is the big one, although I am retired I always have such a long list of things to be done 🤯 But i've wanted to do this for so many decades it's now or never!!! 😏

Some yeasts are top fermenting others are bottom fermenting so depending on the yeast used you might have a thick crust on top and be perfectly corect. Certianly some beer yeasts are top fermenting. I went around a brewery near Manchester and their open vats were wonderful and the smell was fantastic. All done with top fermenting yeasts on open vats.

Home distilling is legal in some of these United States. As a Kansas resident, I cannot legally do so; however, in nearby Missouri, you can. Better set up a shed in my father-in-law's backyard. A question regarding anti-foam agents: most lipids counteract foaming, which is why they are not prized in brewing. Could you chuck a couple tablespoons of canola oil into the wash? Is butter preferable from a flavour standpoint?
