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

Welcome mate your off to a flying start :handgestures-thumbupleft: whats your fav drink? Cant wait to see some pics :D

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:

Thanks guys, I feel welcome already.
Just trying to sort out Photo Bucket, probably be tomorrow before I can get any pics up.

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..

Aha!

just realised it looks pissed in this photo, fear not, its just camera angles.
I'll save the rest for the build thread.

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

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

Man, That is an awesome looking rig right there! Can't wait to see the build thread

Welcome Mr Tinker.

That's a great looking build.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.
