Hi all
Hoping to get started soon. As a newbie, I have decided to dip my toe in the water to make sure I enjoy the distilling experience before jumping in the deep end and spending $$. If I do enjoy it I ultimately would like a nice plated still like the 4" FSD neutralizer.
So far I have 2 x 50L kegs with a 2" ferrule at the top. I will use one keg as the boiler and use gas (again cheaper to start) and the other to store low wines after strip runs.
I have a plumber mate who will build me a 2" basic pot still in exchange for some finished product. This also gives me time to save for the neutralizer while still enjoying a home made whisky.
My question is apart from a fermenter which I have from making cider, what other equipment do I need to get started. I am thinking alcometer, triclamp and seal, but what else?
All help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
