Hi been a member for a few weeks now just browsing and learning. I bought a cheap ebay China pot still to play with but have realized that im more chasing a reflux style.

Ill be posting a wtb in the wtb section and see if anyone has one for sale.

Cheers

Hi, :greetings-waveyellow: I'm sure one of the guys will be able to help you out. People are always upgrading as their tastes expanded.
Anyway enjoy your new hobby and have a read of the newbies corner when you get a chance, viewforum.php?f=57
Plenty of good info to be found there.

Hi mate, welcome :wave:
Don't panic yet, there's nothing wrong with a pot still. If you drink brown spirits like whiskey/bourbons or rum that's exactly what you want. If you really want to do neutrals something will pop up or have a crack at building your own, there's plenty of threads on reflux builds around here.

Enjoy the new hobby :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome Creedy.

:text-+1: on what woodduck said.

Whilst you're waiting for a reflux still to show up, you could get stuck into a rum or a whisky/whiskey wash and run that through your pot so you can start the learning process earlier. The principals of cutting are the same no matter what type of still you're using and when you do get your reflux still you'll be a dab hand at running the the pot still so you can strip your washes before running them through the reflux as neutral. Assuming you want adopt a strip/spirit run strategy that is. Some folks don't and are happy with the results they get from running the washes straight through the reflux still.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.
