Another WA Noob

G'day All
My name is Mark, I just recently bought a SS Air still and have put down my 1st TPW yesterday.
Looking forward to it being ready and starting to play.

I also have a SS Super Reflux 25lt still which i bought in 2004 but mothballed it because I felt like I never had time.
Hopefully this will encourage me to get back into thing properly and I will get it out again.

It was something I really did enjoy doing and the rewards were :ymparty:

Welcome to AD Mark.

You're better off running the TPW through the old reflux still rather than the air still. With the air still being a pot style still, you'll end up with a tomato whisky. Have a crack at one of the cereal based washes from the tried and proven section (I can recommend WBAB) with your air still that way any residual flavours will at least be tasty wheaty ones.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Welcome Mark. :greetings-waveyellow:
Many of us on here are in exactly the same boat when it comes to being time poor, but if you can make it work you will enjoy a great hobby as you've already found out. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome mate, if you are time poor you are also better off doing one 25L run through the old still than 5 runs through the air still :handgestures-thumbupleft:
