Hi all, great site.
Been doing a fair bit of reading on here and other stiller forums over the past week or so and this joint seemed the go-to place to sign up.
Looks pretty laid back which suits me just fine.
Hope to learn a lot more from you guys sooner or later.

Cheers.

TLC - fark. I obviously thought that one through pretty thoroughly.

Cheers guys!

I'm generally a beer drinker but don't mind a bit of the hot stuff now and again, haven't acquired an actual taste for anything in particular, not too keen on gin or vodka but pretty much anything else goes.
Brother in law makes a pretty mean whiskey and saw his supply the other day :o and after a good hit out on that decided to give it a crack. The next day after thorough research (about 5 minutes) I ended up ordering some crazy contraption from across the ditch which should get here in a week or so. Looking forward to playing around with it. Looked ok for a novice like me - touch wood.

Googe, I'm in Avondale Heights mate. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Looks alright to me, I'd collect into glass though, as a general rule high above spirits shouldn't touch plastic.

Thanks for the decent tip BC, I'll be all over a bit of glasswear. Thanks mate.
