Hi from the Sunshine Coast!

[andybaby]

I've just moved up to Noosa hinterland from cold old Melbourne, where I had been learning how to hotrod a T500 with a buddy.
He wanted to keep the setup so I am in the process of making a 3 inch copper neutral still on a beer keg boiler with 3500W element.
Mainly interested in refining my gin and bourbon skills, and as my still is modular, I will make a potstill head for running the gin and whiskey.
I have been lurking for a while here now, and want to thank you all for the knowledge that I have gained.
Some incredibly resourceful people here, I feel welcome already!
Cheers
Andy

Welcome Andy :handgestures-thumbupleft:

3500 W element is pretty damn serious, do you have a 15 amp circuit where you'll be stilling? It'll be fine for what you want to do but you'll need to control its output. For that you'll want a voltage controller.

Make sure you put up photos of your build :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome Andy,

Great to see another sunny coaster on here. There are few of us on here. :greetings-waveyellow:

Welcome to the forum.

I agree with with db. You will definitely want a power controller for that element :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Good luck with the build.

Welcome Andy.

We’ll definitely need pics of that build.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.
