Aussiedistiller, Home Distilling, Moonshine, Home Brew

Hey guys,
cheers for the ad,
just here to learn, pretty sure ill learn more from here than taking a distillery course.. as i know the basics..
just purchased a 100L boiler and components from 5 Star and a couple other copper bits from
Down Under still, cant wait til they rock up and i can get into it..
Going to be distilling Gin and Rum, from macs rum recipe, plus ill throw in some extras
hopefully going to be able to use everything off my farm. even gonna put in some sugar cane
will post a pic of my still once its all arrived.. but so far its still just a drawing after half a litre of rum..

100L boiler + 4” whisky head + 3 x 4” bubble plates + 4” carter head thumper + 2” carter head, then off into the condenser

cheers again boys..!

G’Day , glad your posting.
Mind if I add the drawing ?

Sounds like a fairly serious rig mate!
Looking forwards to seeing some pics.

With txt permission here’s the proposed still on top of all the 5 Star goodies

cheers stig.. will take me a while to work this out..

The stuff from us will be easy.
The stuff from Gowit , that’s going to be a different story :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

The best stuff comes from crazy ideas :-B
I’m sure I’ve had plenty of great ideas , most at 3am after a bottle of corn something :scared-eek:
But, I never remember them ~x(

Might need a defleg above those plates?

Just an oversight in the pic no doubt :D
