I'm Brisbane and keen on BBQ(have a green mountain pellet grill) - but Doc has far more knowledge than I. Like stonemaker, I'd be keen to attend if Doc is coming -Brisket and booze!

Either way u go will be step in right direction :-B

Saw the elements on 5 Star, was going to grab one!!
Would love to have it up and running by Christmas so I can do a run. Now I just need to learn everything else in the mean time!!

Here's a thought mate. Why don't you post your BBQ tips and tricks in the "tucker box" and in return, those of us that inhabit the fine south (not mexico...) can help you out with distilling tips and tricks :handgestures-thumbupleft: Cheers. Lowie

Brilliant idea Lowie!!! I will do exactly that!!!

I think the theme everyone is dancing around here chruss is that Doc is your bet if you want face to face help, because he is running a commercial interest. I seriously doubt any hobby distiller is going to risk inviting a complete stranger into their home distillery to view their somewhat questionable set up and practices (from a legal standpoint).
You will however receive tips and advice, so much so, that you will never be left wanting for information on how to build, run and or problem solve any issue.

I can tell you this from personal experience, and if you look at what the tax office alone are able to do to a hobby distiller, you will understand.

All the best with your build, you will not be disappointed with your product if you are patient :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Not a bad statement there Mr PP.
To be a champion BBQer you obviously enjoy the finer details and getting into the nitty gritty of your chosen subject. There is a enough information on this site alone to steer you down the right track. Read up mate, you won't regret it. Then, in a while, you will be wondering what all the fuss was about because it really is a simple process.

Ahh I understand now. I appreciate you pointing that out to me. Everyone has been so helpful already and I have learnt a few valuable tips over the last 3 days already.

Thank you, looking forward to getting stuck into this!!

I certainly do love the finer details, and I enjoy a challenge. I think it may be excitement at the moment trying to speed up my learning process but I am definitely in this for the long haul. This forum is incredible and everyone in it so helpful. I will continue my research and learning mate, I will focus on building the still first i think.

PM me if you want some help ...I can give you my phone number and we can see if I can help you.
