G'day All....new to distilling and I am very keen to give it a go. Got interested from a few mates at work who are right into it. Thought i would start with a brew shop rig e.g. T500 then started to read a few forums to optimise it's use. Well since reading copious amounts of info over many many weeks i have come to the conclusion i will leave the T500 in the shop for someone else! I know it is cheaper to build your own , however i do not really have the time or more importantly the skills!! Therefore i am looking for a builder out there to make a still for me.
I should state that i plan to make rum / bourbon etc as well as neutrals for flavouring and gins down the track. Therefore i am looking for a modular pot and reflux column still. Thinking of a bokabob only because as i understand it it is a good entry unit and easy to run. feedback welcome as my head is spinning :? at the moment, and more importantly any good builders on this forum who makes / sells to home users?
Thanks in advance

5 Star Distilling is your choice here to purchase a still.

Or have a look at the for sale section, there might be something that interests you.

We don't allow still builders to advertise here as it has become a very ugly situation in the past.

many thanks....chasing a basic reflux column doesn't look like FSD sells these...only bubblers / plates....which look amazing!!!!

Hi and welcome :greetings-waveyellow:

I would give Andrew from 5star a call. He might have something that would suit you. 5star used to have bokas but not 100% sure if they still do.

Good luck mate. Take your time and make sure you understand exactly what you want before buying something :handgestures-thumbupleft:
