G'day Aussi Distillers

I've not long moved to Northern Queensland and are looking forward to the imminent arrival of my fermentation equipment and of course my Still.

Plans are well underway for the construction and establishment my new Home Distilllery/ Man Cave as well

I like to make Whisky and Bourbon and my wife and friends love the occasional vodka or two

I've been sussing out supplies for, and have begun collecting the necessary raw materials mostly from supermarkets for my fist few runs
I've been running Birdwatchers Tomato Paste Wash for a couple of years now with great success.

The first challenge I'm expecting is mastering fermentation up here in the tropics where ambient temperatures are much higher than anything I have experienced in the past. Fermenting without an external heat source is gonna be a blast too.

Any advise on distilling in the tropics would be greatly appreciated especially tips for fermentation or advise on best places for purchasing consumables.

I'm currently using a reflux still and 25L washes but as soon as I can set up my welders and can get my hands on a suitable keg I'll be upgrading to a 4" bubbler

Looking forward to distilling in the Tropics and of course chatting to other Distillers on Aussi Distiller.

Cheers
Pete

Get into Rum, it loves a hot ferment.

Welcome mate,

Sounds like you've got a few runs under the belt already, what reflux rig you using?
Lots of "tune-up" tips available on here on different setups

Good stilling :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Hi Pete :greetings-waveyellow: welcome.

All the best with the new place and future bubbler build.

Welcome to AD Pete.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Northern QLD is a BIG place, maybe narrow it down a little and we migh have members close by that could lend a hand.
Oh and welcome aboard the train :laughing-rolling:

Welcome mate, I have just gone the 4" bubbler my self. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Hi Peter, welcome aboard

Well that didn't take long

50L keg secured, thanks to some local pissheads :obscene-drinkingdrunk:

Now I just need to await the arrival of my welding and cutting gear and the fun can begin

Cheers
Pete
