G'day mate, welcome :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Throw in "likes long walks on the beach" and that intro could be your tinder profile :laughing-rolling:
Just kidding, what do you like to drink?

Hi, with your construction background you will be making your own pot still in no time, then eventually a bubbler.
What sort of construction work do you do?

Long walks on beach but only with a glass of "anything " in my hand lol.
Many thanks to all of you. I'm still (pardon the double entendre) trying to figure out how to use this medium of contact so beer with me.
Got 2x airstills and building a fermentation cupboard with heat pads and all thermostatically controlled. And capable of housing 3x 30litre fermenters. So once in full swing shouldn't run short of consumables any time soon.

Cheers Copperhead Rd
Getting too long in the tooth for tinder but never too old for a dram. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Tending towards Bourbon but not really all that fussy so open to suggestions for what to produce.
Just doing kit shit at the moment but looking to get a little more adventurous later.

If you are running air stills and you like brown spirits, you would have a better outcome with some of these washes

Howdy mate. I suggest you look at getting your hands on a heated still of some sort. Even if its a loaner. It'll convince you pretty quick you want one.
However an air still can produce too but at a muuuuuch slower rate.
Look at the recipes suggested by plumby and read heaps on the forum and you'll be off to a good start at least. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
