welcome mate! I take it you've gone and seen Avril and Wayne down at your local HBS? They sold you a T500 and have you using essences and turbo yeast?
well, for a start, check out the TPW,

Great stuff, I ran a TPW yesterday afternoon with good result. My son wasnt too happy as i stopped him having a valantine bath with his gf. He was happier with the vodka he was drinking last night though as a result of my labours.

G'day Daniel,
I'm in Ballarat too and reasonably new to distilling after a long break. This forum is an incredible wealth of information and I'm taking in tons of helpful stuff.
Good luck with it. I'm going to try a Tomato Paste Wash next time!
