Aussiedistiller, Home Distilling, Moonshine, Home Brew

Hi All,

Given the fact that 5 Star Distilling is changing ownership and will be out of action for a while I thought I should finally become a member and contribute to the forum. Whilst you may not be able to buy from 5 Star in the short term you may be prompted to build instead of buy. I figured if that's the case then the more build info on here the better.

Having used the info on this forum I have already built a 2" Boka, 4" copper Flute and a 4" Glass Bubbler. I'm very happy with the plated stills but I just don't have the time to run them so I decided that a 6" Bubble Cap Copper Flute still was in order. I have made a start on it and will now start a build thread for others to follow along on my journey.

I also figured it's a great time to support the forum financially as well so I have donated what I could and hope others will do the same as it would be a shame if the forum died due to financial reasons.

Well that's it for now but look out for the build thread titled "Pour Decision".

Cheers.

Welcome along mate :greetings-waveyellow:

Thanks for donating, every dollar counts and it's great to see people supporting the forum :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Got any photos of your stills, we love photos here :handgestures-thumbupleft: I look forward to the build thread.

Welcome to AD Pour Decision.

Great to see you getting into the spirit of the forums. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Definitely looking forward to your 6" build thread and pics of your other rigs are a must!

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Thanks for the welcome mate.

I only have one picture of the "family" and it was before the copper flute was complete so I was robbing bits off the Glass Bubbler.

Nice work.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Welcome mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Got a close up of your parrot? Is it unfinished?

Looks unfinished to me.
Also looking suspiciously like a commercial venture

You have 6" on a 2" keg opening? I have/had 4" on a 2" keg opening and its well wobbly...wouldnt recomend it :handgestures-thumbdown:

I''m away with work at the moment so haven't had too much time to reply to your questions.

The parrot was unfinished at that point in time. I have finished it now but don't have a picture with me of it finished. I do have a picture of it when I was trying to bend 1/2" copper by hand and kinked it so the bend looks crap. I have since bought a 1/2" pipe bender and the result was much better. If I remember when I get home I will upload a pic of it finished.

Hey Stig, I'd be interested to know why you think its a "commercial Venture".

bluc, those stills pictured are both 4" on 4" to 2" reducers. I have since changed the boiler to be 4" instead of 2" and it is much more stable. The 6" column will get a new boiler with a 6" flange for attachment.

ok cool like the parrot :handgestures-thumbupleft:
