Hey there

Say Hi and introduce yourself

Hey there

Postby Mightycooper » Wed Aug 29, 2018 10:31 am

Been talking with a mate and after brewing Beers and Ciders I reckon its time to have a go at distilling.

Had a bit of a read around here but obviously way more to do but just looking at getting a kit and learning from there.

So cheers for letting me in and i hope to learn a lot and hopefully input too.

Hey mate, welcome.

Best advice I can give you is 1) read ALL of the threads in the newbies corner and 2) don't rush into buying something till you understand all the different types of stills (pots, reflux and bubbler mainly)

Good luck

I'm a brown spirits man so whiskey, bourbon, brandy are my goals.

Yeah plenty to read up on first that's for sure.
