Hi StillNoob,

Good place to start. Have a look at the 5 Star Store and do what many of us didn’t do. Take a deep breath, ask plenty of questions and then take time to decide. Either way, you’ll end up in front. And by the way, welcome aboard.

Hi StillNoob
I am a comparative newbie who upgraded from an airstill to a FSD 2" boka and pot. There is a thread about my boka. Happy to answer any newbie quesions you might have. The first thing is to decide what you want to make. There is lots to learn but it is heaps of fun.
Cheers
Carol

Welcome to AD StillNoob.

With your upgrade, are you looking to make flavoured spirits (rums, whisky etc) or neutral? Or both? This will be one of the factors to consider when determining your upgrade path.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.
