Aussiedistiller, Home Distilling, Moonshine, Home Brew

Well, for all you "mixers" out there......
Tonight I'm giving the Coles Homebrand "no sugar cola" a go.........and it's quite decent. Might even ditch the Pepsi Max from now on.

Great, love to hear it.
What are you using to distill it?
Just distilled my first TPW yesterday. Not too sure about the outcome yet - it was a bit on the nose, but I'll give it some air for another day or so before I make any final judgements.
Although, my actual first distill was a turbo, and it ponged too. Might just be something I'm doing wrong, or the actual still?

EDIT: - I've just read your posts about the distilling process. Sounds like it went great (as far as I've always understood from reading here, what it should go like). My process was very similar. Just smelly.

Turbo yeast= stinky and is why most usd tpw with bakers yeast...

Yep, I've realised that from reading here, so my second run was a TPW, but it's kinda smelly too.
But on the plus side, I still have a couple of variations I can probably make, in the hope that they improve things.
Trial and error, and trial again....am sure I'll get there :)
