Beginner from WA

Postby Oldnumber7 » Wed Nov 14, 2012 3:12 pm

Hi everyone,

My name is Andrew and I currently live in Perth. I haven't tried any form of home distilling, but would love to give it a go.

I would like to make Bourbon and Whisky in small batches (my favourite poison)

I have a lot of information to read and digest from here, should be quite a steep learning curve !
Looking forward to a few suggestions on equipment from the experienced as I am ready to buy what I need now.
Hopefully after a while, I may be able to contribute back to this great site with what I have learnt :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheers
