Howdy gang,

Going back through my posts and i havnt been on since 2013 8-}
Had a few health issues and gave up the hobbies but im all good and keen to get back into it, relocated from sydney to the goldfields of Vic and finding the old 2" pot i got off macstill back in the day has got the heart pumping again.

still have all the gear other than the fermentors and ill source them and get back into the rum, alot of reading again as ive forgotten everything i had picked up.

Exciting times ahead, brought acreage with plenty of shed room and no close neighbours :handgestures-thumbupleft:
plan on getting a few 15amp outlets installed as the only downside i found before was only having a single 2400w element in my 50ltr boiler

Welcome back, such a rewarding hobby when it pays off within the first few litres to buying alcohol from the bottle-O
