Been Lurking

Hi all,

Been lurking here since Feb this year. Never felt the need to post as pretty well all the info I've needed is already on here and I'm not a super socialite. This is the only forum I am a member of and this my first post ever.
I started out making a copper column for a workmate and got sucked in. I had soon made a 30l copper boiler on gas with a 2" CM column and a 7l stainless steel carbon filter of my own. I made a few TPW batches and got some very nice product but decided neutral and essence was not enough.
I made a pot head for my boiler and started doing rum washes. It soon became very obvious that stripping runs followed by low and slow spirit runs, and good cuts = lots of time for a small amount of very nice product.
Time for a bubbler and a fermenter upgrade.

I finished my bubbler a couple of months ago and felt I owed it to some of you guys to share what your knowledge and advise has enabled me to do.

I'll post a build thread in the bubbler section soon.

Cheers

G'day mate and welcome. I'm glad you've popped your head up and said hi.

I also look forward to your build thread :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'll drink almost anything that tastes good, but Rum is my favourite. Usually with a bit of lemonade.

Dont use photobucket you have to pay heaps upload them to the site :handgestures-thumbupleft: I like the sound of a stainless fermenter to. I scored a 220l stainless drum but unfortunately its not sanitary welded. Have been thinking maybe a plastic liner bag and use it for a mash tun..not sure if a bag would handle the heat..

I'll save the rest for the build thread.

Sweet as :mrgreen: are you including the boiler build in your build thread :-B

by **Mr Tinker** » Mon Nov 13, 2017 8:48 pm

Yeah, I built it from the boiler up as one project, so it will be in there too.
