I think that a 5 star neutralizer with a carter head is a dream set up... it can be re configured so many ways ... and is capable of making sensational spirits... we have had a relationship with 5 star for years ...they are a solid company with top gear...how good... we we just won the Double gold medal for London dry gin at San Francisco using a 5 Star still and carter head...so the sky is the limit... I used to be a hobby distiller, having access to a still of this quality opened doors to spirit's of a quality that are as good as anything on the market..highly recommended.

I think you'll find it illegal to hang Muslims in general! Let alone in an illegal still set-up in an environment where alcohol replaces Oxygen ... I have been known to be wrong! :law-policered: :wtf: :naughty: :think:

Hi - after year wi the FSD blockhead 4 plate , I have to say it’s very good gear. I make brown but mostly Gin. 50 l is a good kettle size as it’s 4-5 hours at 2-2.5 l per hour takeoff than 8 or 10 hours.

I se 60 l fermenters and make 45-50 l washes to suit the kettle.

Mine is a FSD milk can with 2 x 2.4 kw elements ,works fine with simple
MCStills suggested operating.

No carter head but just a simple botanical cage section.

I’ve just added a 5th plate sight glass to make a better one pass brown product.

I use town water and soak the lawn shrubs etc so the plants love it.

A wise man said here once” a dollar spent on anything but FSD gear is a dollar wasted”

I have under 3k invested inc the $600 circuit wiring to handle the 4.8kws. At startup.

It’s a great hobby, I love experimenting and it’s low cost using various sugar washes.

Made latest gin with Forrest berry , lemon myrtle, Anise myrtle, pepperberry on a Juniper , base with some others and it’s nice.
Even made a Hawthorn syrup using Wild Hawthorns and Neutral.

Still use Blond Chaps base recipe which is a Bombay Sapphire clonish Gin.

Enjoy and let us know how you go.
