FIVE STAR TREATMENT

Postby copperhead road » Wed Apr 05, 2017 2:38 pm

I just wanted to do a post to let others know who maybe thinking about buying a still and importing it from USA, Especially if your like myself and either lack the time or most importantly the skill to make a half decent one yourself.
I myself imported because I did not know-

"YES" there is a place right here in QLD !

After a lengthy conversation to Allen and Sue today from FSD they were more than happy to answer any questions I had and also more than happy to help advise me on my current situation and best ways to go about things.
"great people"

I do strongly recommend 100% if your thinking of importing you should give them a call first to discuss your options and you will save yourself an awful lot of money (trust me I know)

Not only will you get excellent advice and customer service in your home country but you avoid all them 2am calls to the USA I'm all to familiar with.

Anyways just saying if you were like me-
IF YA DIDN'T KNOW THEN, WELL YA DO KNOW NOW !

Yes indeed!

There's a reason many of us push them as the go to people.

So is there any ETA on your copper beast? I for one, am keen to see it!

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Sure would have!

Don't discount the 100 litre milk can boilers either - they're a lot cheaper than the pro boiler and work just as well. They're also a nice size for the larger scale hobby set up.
