Hi from Cape Town, South Africa!

Postby Kruger1801 » Wed Sep 06, 2017 8:37 am

Hi from Cape Town.

Not a Aussie Distiller, but been lurking around here for some time now - reading up on everything.

Recently acquired a 50 liter keg pot still, with 3 spirit runs under the belt. I have some experience brewing beer, but super keen to get into all grain whisky distilling.

Hope to learn a lot, and contribute to the forum!

Cheers!

Welcome here mate, I split your biltong recipe off into the tucker box section of the forum, I reckon it deserves it's own thread :handgestures-thumbupleft:
