Aussiedistiller, Home Distilling, Moonshine, Home Brew

Hi Members,
My forum name is Jompie, I live in Southern Brisbane and do a bit of sugar distilling as a hobby. I like to know more about changing to copper towers and associated items for making whisky, bourbon and some Dutch New and Old Genever.
Since retirement I have all the spare time to spend on this hobby.

Hi there ans welcome aboard :greetings-waveyellow:

If you want to build the best type of still look through the plated column section. If you build a bubbler you'll never need another still :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Have a look through the tried and proven recipe section for some great recipes. There are much nicer recipes than plain sugar if your after a whiskey or rum.

Enjoy the forum :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome to AD Jompie.

You've come to the right place for info. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Given that you want to make a variety of spirits, I would recommend going modular and if go for a bubbler as woodduck suggested, you'll have most of your bases covered.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Welcome Jompie,

Never heard of "Old Geneva" before so this will be a first! You will be the foremost expert on the flavour and can lead us in the eventual recipe development :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Just had to look it up and read the basic ingredients on a bottle. Seem to be a specialised form of Whisky, triple distilled (that'll take out most of the grain flavour, but make it very smooth) and then that is used like to infuse 'Gin' like ingredients... sounds very interesting!


Looking forward to your contribution!
