Hi all,

New to the forum but have been lurking and reading all the wise info everyone has to offer for a while. I am a farmer and in the middle of seeding atm so plenty of time for googling, ordering parts.( Auto steer is awesome :handgestures-thumbupleft: )
So I have ordered all my copper parts to build my 2" pot still which will be going on top of a 50L keg I already had from beer brewing.
Will post photos of the build process. When I get off this bloody tractor.
Cheers.

Gday and welcome :handgestures-thumbupleft: whats your fav drink?

G'day Ozski, welcome to the forum.

Hope seeding goes well mate and can't wait to see what ya build :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheers woodduck. Bit of precipitation would be nice. :pray:

Hey bluc, at the moment the drink of choice is gin. So I can see a gin basket in the build shortly. But am also partial to scotch on the rocks or a rum and coke. Depends on the occasion but definitely a heavy juniper gin at the moment.

Welcome to AD OzSki.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Thanks Professor, looking forward to getting into the build phase.

Welcome OzSki!
You must have bigger paddocks with less trees over there. Autosteer is great but the ends of the paddock still come too quickly when i have a quick look on the forum.
Have fun building your first still... i doubt it will be your last once you get the building bug! :laughing-rolling:

Cheers Dan, from the look of the amount of stills and the time and effort as well as the constant discussion on improvement I'm sure I won't be running out of idea's anytime soon.

Sky is the limit on this forum!
Keep reading and you'll never stop learning. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Great to see our broad acre cousins on here. Big welcome to a great community.

Welcome to the fold. What do you farm? You say seeding, you could become a very close friend to many on here :laughing-rolling: depending on what you are growing... :laughing-rolling:

Stick around, the learning doesn't seem to finish, just a new piece of the puzzle appears that you need to explore...

Thanks EZi, I farm grain only. Canola and malt barley in the ground already and into wheat program, nearly half way through 20000 acre program. Anyone let me know around December if the want barley. :D

Cheers.

Any opportunity for Millet? Just for interest sake... Hope we don't have to buy by the ton! :doh:

But really, despite that, welcome even if it doesn't work out with the grain! That is like the cherry, on top of the cream, on top of the cake, if it comes off! :handgestures-thumbupleft:

20000 acres is having a fair crack!
I hope your getting more rain over there than here... we're cropping on very marginal moisture.
Its starting to shit me really :angry-banghead:

Hey guys, malting variety is called Scope don't know what it would be like. You can have as much as you want if you organise freight :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Dan, no moisture at all here either the whole program has gone in dry so far with no subsoil moisture. Next weekend looking the goods though.. :pray:

Cheers all.

Feel free to kick the cloud over here when you've had enough! :laughing-rolling:

How did the millet end up :handgestures-thumbupleft:

No Millet in this year. Just finished harvesting the barley and went bloody awesome. Into canola now, but sitting at home with a rum because it's started bloody raining. :angry-banghead: Not a chance of finishing by Christmas now.

Don’t know how you do it! Bloody hard work, my hat off to you. Glad you haven’t dropped off the face of the earth!
