Postby Sp00na » Wed Dec 19, 2018 9:34 am

Hi all, im fairly fresh to distilling. Ive done about 10 batches through an airstill. Looking to upgrade and start making some clean spirit. If anyone is from cairns that can point me in the right direction or sell me a still i would be interested.
thanks

Welcome aboard mate.
What still you will require will depend entirely on what your wanting to make/drink.
Have a good look around before making any rash decisions

Welcome to AD Sp00na.

It' definitely worth doing some research before you dive in to make sure you're getting the right still for you. I reckon you can do better than that ebay jobbie you're looking at.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

:text-+1:
If you have any sort of building skills, have a look in the pot still section... you'll be surprised how easy it would be to build a simple pot. Thats of course if it suits your needs.
Welcome by the way! :greetings-waveyellow:
